Fantastic tones. Perfect composition. Love it.

is it wrong that when oprah made the book a part of her club i felt like she took something away from me?

What a beautiful photo, the tones and composition are perfect!

All I can say… so wonderful composed!!!

This photo tells a story. I love how the bubbling surf buids a boundary around this person. You’ve captured a special moment in time here.

Thanks y’all :)

@schmee: I feel the same way - it makes it seem like a pop-culture curiosity…

absolutely wonderful. the waves in the background are awesome. it looks like you created the dof with post-processing? or was this straight from the camera? what lens? anyway, very beautiful photo! congrats!

Oh my… wonderful image. I’m struck by how you’ve composd an image that is on one level tranquil and serene, yet juxtaposed in front of a source of chaos and turbulence. I really like this one. Lovely.

Thanks Kris & Dan :) Yeah, straight out of the camera Kris. I used my trusty 50mm - it’s a great lens.

This shot reminds of something right out of a Kurosawa movie. Just beautiful.

I know its only a moment in time captured but I can see everything moving here, there is life.

a great lense indeed.
but
also a great eye. more & more i fall in love w/the process of framing & slowly it becomes a worldview, a philosophy.

love this shot. love this frame. love yr eyes.

The imagry is fantastic. I love the simple subject matter and striking contrasts.

Beautiful shot.

you are officially one of the best photoblogs i’ve seen.

Strong composition, Carson.

very emotional picture. even if there’s no face to see, it feels like waiting on someone or missing somebody.

Excellent composition, tones, everything!! I love it!
