The time of day was critical to this shot. It allowed the sun to reflect off the water and create the stark white spray. It's important also to shoot at around 1/250 and higher to capture the movement without blur. I only ever shoot in manual mode and customize to the changing light constantly. Using actions can really enhance your pictures and is well worth learning to use.
