Greetings from the Critique Club

This is one that I find hard to critique. I like it, I gave it a 6 in voting, but there is something missing for me and I can't put my finger on what it is that is missing.

I think I would have preferred to see a bit more foreground included, the framing feels a bit too tight for me. The letterbox style cropping constrains the image somehow. I'm missing the feeling of the wide open space. As far as the B&W goes, I tend to like a bit more contrast, not so much that the spray of the wave is blown out, but enough to give a bit more of a punch. This is a very minor nitpick and is just my personal preference.

Overall a well done image, but I think with a few minor compositional changes could have got you a higher score.

Full of action. The lack of information of the surfer works for me.

Well done on exposure length. Very cool how you've got the lights and then stars as well.

just a bit blown out in the lights (IMO) but you have great detail in the trees
