Morning at the Beach

photo 188
I always wake up early when I am at the beach and today was assisted by a midnight stroll through the room and a fall over a suitcase and a sliced up thumb. So after my walk to the drug store for good bandages I went to the beach this morning for some photos. Not sure I love this photo and its depth of field, but I really did want the ocean in focus and the pilings to be blurry foreground so the image does match what I was aiming for. I have already posted once and removed 2/3rds of the front piling.

I like the dof. My attention is directed right back to the ocean.

I actually really like the framing of this shot! I think the pilings definitely add to the composition!

Living fairly close to the ocean, this has such a familiar feel to it. Love it.

@triplescoop thank you, I was afraid the piling in the front was causing too much distraction.

@5unflow3r arriving at the ocean is one of the best feelings in the world.
@cfrantz thank you, I had to crop this four or five times to really feel confident to post, and then I did it and re-posted
@reba thank you
@hjbenson thanks, the sky works so well at the beach in the early morning (okay 9:00)
@bobg thank you, took me a while to get the waves just right.
@aj1268 glad you liked it, I think without the pilings it would have just been boring.
@kmwilliams I really was excited about visualizing this composition and it working out
@xodiac thank you for the comments
@viranod thank you, I always enjoy your comments on my photos

Gorgeous DOF! Love the textures!

I think you did a great job with this one! It was a good choice to use the fence to frame the shot but keep the focus on the ocean.
