The lighting's interesting and you've made good use of the rock wall, but something's lacking IMO. >http://www.splitsecondfilms.com/2003-MossLanding/SurfFishing-3.jpg [stuff deleted] Now your jellyfish photo on the otherhand, I like a good deal: For me, black and white works, and so does your cropping. I think Martin's cropped version lacks the impact of the original-I happen to like the jellyfish streaming out of the frame in the lower right corner.
