Nice job John. The image is quite dark on my screen. I might use a radial filter and lighten the bioluminescent wave crest and the the pilings for the pier. Posted: 05/17/2020 10:17:37
Per your suggestion, use two radial filters one to light the blue wave and the other light the shadow of area outside wave. Good suggestion. Posted: 05/20/2020 22:58:24
Thanks for your suggestion. I will give a try later. Posted: 05/18/2020 11:30:09
Nice capture! Is the magenta on the pilings a reflection from the bio-luminescence or something else? Posted: 05/20/2020 22:21:08
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. It was beautiful in the evening , but smells bad. Posted: 05/20/2020 22:49:46
I have never seen this before. Nice job merging the photos. Posted: 05/22/2020 20:53:00

What an amazing sight to see. You did a great job stacking the waves. I love the golden light and reflection. I don't have any suggestions. Beautiful shot! Posted: 05/25/2020 18:51:18

It's a pretty wow shot John. I have never seen this either. I love how the structure is so sharp and crisply in focus with the moving water. It must have been exciting to be there and see this. I do like the idea of lightening up in the water a bit. Posted: 05/26/2020 19:41:09
I think I set the aperture to be 8 and focused on the pier. Thanks. Posted: 05/27/2020 11:03:14
