This is nice, but I wish there were a little more clarity in the surf and it does look a little noisy. This looks like an HDR, so I'm wondering if taking multiple exposures is the reason it looks kind of blurry in the surf?
Not an HDR or blended, sort of. More like a double exposure?
I took two .jpgs and laid one over the top of the other at 50% transparency. A quickie PP adventure. Now that I know the elements (color, comp, foreground) seem to work, I'll go back through and do it right with the RAW files.
