Please enter your best close-up photos of the curl or foam of a crashing ocean wave. Tight crops of waves can make them interesting and unique so the curl or the barrel of the wave should be the main focus of your photo. The patterns in the water are varied and can make for amazing abstract shots, so try to be creative with your close-up captures. Photos can be in colour or black and white.
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
