[QUOTE="aZuMi, post: 78105, member: 10045"] Shot looks good! There are only a few things I would personally change: 1. Wait for the wave to come closer to the frame (or move closer to the waves). I noticed there's a little more sand than water in the photo, so a little more water would be great. I didn't realize you don't have the D5100 yet, but when you get it - I would add this in the list of recommendations. Aside from that, the only thing I can think of is the wave. Nice shot! 2. Maybe put a graduated ND filter on the lens? I personally don't shoot landscape, but the graduated ND filter will help control the exposure from the sky to give you darker clouds. I learned this from a friend of mine who does mainly landscape photography. 3. Longer exposure? I don't think you're going for the longer exposure look, but it will smooth out the water and clouds. Note though that you'll need a tripod for that...and I'm assuming you didn't have one for this shot? [/QUOTE]
