A couple of young body boarders in the surf to-day.
It's the middle of winter here in New Zealand,temperture is about 10c easterly wind blowing fresh off the snow covered alps,its very cold.
These guys have got to be crazy.
The snow covered mountain in the top right hand side of the image is Mt Cook New Zealands hightest mountain

Hi Russell.
Great shot. Composition of waves and in front of Mt Cook, perfect. Great detail and colour, and added interest having the body boarder off to the right.
Wonderful

Hi Russell,
What a stunning view of the Southern Alps.
One's eye is lead from the foreground spray, to the surfers, then to the Alps via that perfect breaking wave in the centre.
Colour and exposure is spot on.
Thanks for showing,
Peter.

Hello Russell,

A cool winter shot ! Simple composition working well. Perhaps our surfer would appreciate more the wave on his right .

Contrary to my colleagues, I find here the colors a bit flat. A bit more contrasts would make it even better, IMHO.

Nevertheless, a cool panoramic shot.
Enjoy your weekend!
Robert

I really like how you've captured the wave in the middle, the body boarders and the mountains just add more to the picture. Nice photo!

Hi Russell,
Great timing and composition with the mountains in the distance and the waves and the surfer in the foreground.
Super shot!
Cheers

Hi Russell
You have to be real keen to be out there body boarding but I'm glad they were, it adds so much. I love the spray off the wave.
Really cool pic
Cheers Peter
