Very nice. Even better if you straighten the horizon. I love shoooting slow shutter speed shots of waves and the colors from Hawaii make it something special. I hope to be shooting some Oahu waves in December. The wave picking up the brown sand adds an extra level of complexity. #757209

A superb capture of the water action, Esther! Great use of the slow shutter. Like David suggested, I think a slight adjustment to the horizon would make it perfect. #4917192
