SERENE by sangwann

SERENE

As I took shot after shot of the crashing waves, this lady just sat there serenely gazing at the water and admiring its power. Her position was just a few metres from the where the most powerful of the waves hit the rocks.
I tried to merge these two shots through Photoshop but they weren’t intended to be merged. They wouldn’t merge automatically so I did it manually with a lot of patience. I did not want to make them seem to be one shot and you can see the lines where the two photos meet. Did some extra editing after.
Many thanks for all your views, comments and favs. Always much appreciated.
lots of work went into that merging - very interesting

Quite a lot of work in the edit Dione but in my humble opinion I would rather see it in a diptych , and I would rather have seen the lady with the whole scene in front of her !! I am intrigued to see what is behind the join !

I like the edit :)

Crazy woman!

@beryl I merged the two pictures to show how close she was to the crashing waves and could still remain dry and serene. In a diptych that would not show.

Goodness....that's not very 'Health and Safety' is it......:)

Wow...cool image with great scale and water movement

Nice contrasts and she must have really enjoyed the waves!

She does look amazingly serene! She must be totally enjoying the experience. Those are incredible waves! Cool image! :-)

Wow! She loves the power of the sea.
November 18th, 2017  
You have really captured the strength of the sea - she's brave! Frightening!

I can see why they didn't want to merge :) Such a difference - and that woman is mad - over here that's exactly how fishermen get washed off rocks and drowned. I like your presentation. Cheers

Never underestimate the power of the sea!!

Very interesting effect, love it😍

Beautiful shots and great processing.
(In the cities , and often in the country to, the roads of cars and bikes are separated ones. On this one the max speed is 60 km/hour. Our laws gives the cyclist much protection. Nearly alway`s the cardriver is to blame. In the cities the storage of bikes become a problem. And, to make it more complicated, the amount of electric powered bikes increase rapidly.)

Such a dramatic sea! I'm not sure I'd sit that close to such big waves...
November 18th, 2017  
Absolutely love this scene and edit, amazing work

Terrific capture and clever stitching. Fav
November 18th, 2017  
Good heavens, she must have been so mesmerised by the waves not to see the huge wave coming.

interesting combination by creating a semi-diptych.
November 19th, 2017  
Intriguing photo and editing

I wonder what in her mind.

Crazy women! love the sea and it's power, lovely captures. 😃

Interesting and creative way to depict what you wanted to show us. Very effective.
