I managed to talk my wife Charlene into helping me with this image. I had her stand in the tide and try to remain motionless as the camera did its thing. Unfortunately the tide came in little higher than expected and went over the top of her boots. Her expression says the rest. My intent was to turn the water into smoke. What do you think?

I think you succeeded and I imagine you owe her a big apology, or at least a dry pair of boots. Nice image.

Well I htink you've managed to pull it off for the most part. The only thing that would give it away is the wet jeans just above the boots. Nevertheless a wonderful compostion and a warm thank you to your wife for being such a good sport. And I would agree with Eubeen, I think a pair of dry boots isn't too much to ask for...is it?

Methinks the next time you ask her to do such thing she will say no for sure..lol...

But a great shot and a nice try for getting water into smoke..hehe
How long was the shuttertime, 'cause methinks you can create more smoke looking water if you use a long shutter, between the 30 and 60 sec.

Butnevertheless a great shot and I lo-ove the expression on her face:oD

I have heard the statement "Head over heels in love." She is at least over heels, Garrett. I would say with her trust she is over head too. I like the concept of this one. Nice work and pretty wife.

I too, think you succeeded in your goal, Garrett! I especially like the view at the top of the image, that looks like smoke/fog clinging to the rocks! Aside from the very cool effect of smoke to the water, I really like all the textures in the surrounding rocks and moss! Wonderful contrasting colours and atmosphere! And, I also love her expression! Looking forward to more like this :)

Funny, I was just thinking after seeing the first seal photo, you should throw in a few of the surrounding areas. I like the "smoke" effects and perspective creating lines of the shoreline. Please thank Charlene, she was a good sport. Fun "caught in the tide" expression. I think you achieved your goal. Hope you do more!

Nice concept - I think you should take it further. certainly a change from the usual long exposure images.

Yes indeed you succeeded! Well, other then the water literally going over her boots! You naughty man! You knew it would happen eh??!! I love the look on her face, and yes, you did great with making the water look like smoke. I love her fingernails too. I get mine done..and hers look beautiful!! But I imagine hers are the 'real thing.' Thanx for a very unique great shot here. Verena
