Hi dear Murray,

now that is very risky one indeed with also the rocks in the BG, but what a great shot, i like how the sun is covering a part and the shadow hiding another, the different foam forms on the wave, looks like a map.. very interesting, another extreme action composition...

kind regards
suzy

Nice scene Murray and great action.. It seems to me that you've cropped in quite a lot to get this image because the image quality isn't that wonderful especially looking at the surfer - he's quite pixellated as also is the area where the rocks meet the waves.. Sometimes I just hanker for that extra 100mm focal length which you don't have when you really need it......

Nice surf scene - you wouldn't find me in that wtaer... Probably way too cold!!

Hello Murray,
Great waves approaching and the guy is really in trouble!
Adequate lighting on the sea thus providing us with sharp and well exposed foam!
Beautiful compo and presentation.
Well done. Regards.

Wow, What a shot, Murray.!
Excellent action shot it is.
The position of the brave surfer, the white foam and the hight of the wave.
The wave breaker makesit even more interesting to look at.
Complements, my friend.
Bravo and tfs.
Regards from Jan
ps try to use more Kilobites in the picture. It will reduce some noise too.

hi Murray

Very interesting to see the surfer in action and you have given space to the waves yet able to allow a strip of the sky.

Great composition of this scenery.

Good catch Murray,
the placement of the surfer to the far right -- with the rocks on the left works nicely.

Best regards, Daniel
