Info The image was cropped, but not downsampled
Info The person is not sharp because he moved back from incoming wave during this time exposure. He left his tripod and camera to get wet :)

Oppose blur to not-blur ratio too big --Leafnode 15:18, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is the wave the image was taken, there was no any post-processing. Of course there is much more blur in the waves crashing ashore then the other ones. BTW thank you for you comment. I was interested to get some feedback for the image because I do like the composition of that one.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:06, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I'm talking about blur related to long exposure. I think it's a very interesting photo, but too 'artsy' to be a FP on commons. --Leafnode 16:47, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support But I can't understand why the photographer hasn't manned up and gone swimming. Noodle snacks (talk) 22:22, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I knew it was a good image! It is not passing :(, but your support means a lot :). I believe the guy did not go swimming because after all his camera was not underwater

BTW looking at him I was thinking about you and how you're taking similar shots with your camera just few inches above the water :)--Mbz1 (talk) 00:00, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, my camera has had quite a few splashes from bigger than usual waves. Seems fine. I usually carry a cloth with me to wipe the salt water off. I have one or two of these somewhere. Should get into the habit of packing them. The picture is a fairly realistic depiction of how I take seascapes (close with a wide angle). Noodle snacks (talk) 01:02, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, I was right, when I was thinking about you, while taking the image! I will upload few more images of the same and let you know. BTW has somebody ever taken an image of you taken image of the waves?--Mbz1 (talk) 01:32, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, I have one of a wave about to hit me and my camera at here on the same night as Clifton beach 4/5, but that is about it. Noodle snacks (talk) 03:48, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose You should have told the guy to stay still. :) -- Petritap (talk) 07:35, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It would have been really boring, if he did :)--Mbz1 (talk) 09:02, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - if the photographer is the subject of this photo than he should be standing still.--Avala (talk) 20:09, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of the photo is the mood of photographing a long time exposure images of the ocen waves :)--Mbz1 (talk) 20:22, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative edit

Info This image was taken before the one above. As you could see he moved his tripod closer to the waves later.
