Surfer? There's no surfer, only an island with a funny palm tree, and it's photoshopped shade. Hehe.

Another beautiful image Ben. A surfers memory.

It's very possible to photograph a scene like this, so I'm going to assume you did. Great framing and placement of the sun + surfer.

Splendid image. I just got a little confused by the "mysterious island" at the horizon. I cannot put it together with the foreground.

Looks like more magic from Ben's beach. I go with A.

Nicely done, Ben. I'm guessing this is real.

Such a powerful image, especially if you've lost a loved one to the sea...

Could be real if that's the moon and surfer walked through the frame, stopped, then moved on. I like this.

I like the long exposure. It's like the ocean is remembering the surfer. Very dreamy. My verdict is real.

Genuine image I think (long exposure)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Well I think it's real, the ghostly surfer is interesting but I think this is a longer exposure and there was someone there for a portion of the time, could obviously be wrong, the posture looks a little strange so it could be fake but I'll stick with real. Nice tones on this a good image overall.

One of my favorites. It's dreamy & easy to look at. Love. (not voting)

Beautiful scene without the surfer, which looks rather like a blemish. I'm guessing this is real; done with a long exposure and perhaps a zoom..

Not real but has potential.

I wonder how this would have fared in waldo? Loving the alluvial fan in the foreground.
