Cold Slap in the Face

Cold Slap in the Face, originally uploaded by Tony DeSantis Photography.

2nd in the serious of shots taken on Memorial Day morning at the Huntington beach pier.

This one intrigues me because:
1. You can't see the surfers face so this could be anyone
2. I like the way the water is just smacking him upside the mug and he is trying to deflect it with his hand. Which it just goes to show that no-one can control that much fury and motion except God.
3. We just need to ride and go with the flow.

The Shot:

>Single Exposure- F/5.6, ISO 500, 1/2000 sec, +.05EV, 70-200L with 2X Extender @400mm.

Post Processing CS-5:

>Raw Increase Black, Exposure, Adjusted WB

>Topaz Adjust 4.0 for Color and Detail

>Adjustment Layer-Levels-For White and Black points

>Adjustment Layer-Hue/Sat-reduce red in face and hands

>Noise Ninja for overall noise reduction

>High Pass Sharpening

>Sized and Framed for Posting

I pretty much copied and pasted the same post processing from the previous photo because it was pretty much processed the same exact way except the shot itself was just a little different.
