Next time offer the surfers a beer, or two. Maybe they will stick around for you! Great image, I like the dof and energy.

Well done Deb, great finish. She is so relaxed. Perfect.

I spent quite some time with this. Gave you an 8. I find the perception of space/distance confounding, and this is the strength of the image. She has been distorted in size and motion, what a trip.

Well done J. BTW, what is a powder finish? Did you offer her an undercoating as well? ;)

Well, believe it or not, I thought of you when this image popped up. I'm was startled to see this as your entry, I believe it was the name that triggered the thought. Anyway, you have stretched the bounds of child portraiture. Fluctuating focus, light, and depth; creative use of your craft, and certainly a hallmark of your work in general.
