I am sorry, but this person almost looks TOO young to be doing this... either that, or my being a father of 3 young girls is catching up with me! Ummmm... very nice lighting, and overall a wonderful job!!!

I really like the composition, subject and the lighting. Okay, so the surf detail has been lost but we can't have everything. I like everything else about the picture but the brown colouring really put me off.

Obviously this is only my opinion, but I feel that toning of digital "black & white" needs to be subtle, just like the chemical equivalent.

This surfer shot is GREAT. The composition is spot on, the surfer really jumps out of the picture the way a subject should and it has a very nice feel as well. NICE!

This image really does tell a story and the exposure and contrast on the boy is spot on. I gave it a 7 and would have scored this a couple of points higher if the wave had more detail. I think you got everything you could have out of this for the tough lighting conditions you had.

I think the sky gives a larger context. There is nothing to change about this picture, as far as I'm concerned. That couple was lucky to have you as a photographer, just for this picture alone.
