What an unusual surfing shot - a very different feel from most. I think the strongest element here is the composition - the slightly diagonal line of the wave is very very strong and the position of the surfer cuts is just at the right point. This is a great example of a composition that doesn't use the rule of thirds but works superbly. I like the choice to go black and white but find the tone too pink.

I can't vote on member challenges. However, I fully expect this image to ribbon.
Very nice work.

I like surfing shots in general, but I can't say that I understand your choice of toning. Normally, sepia would be used to create a sense of the past, but that doesn't seem to be the goal here. It looks more like the surfer is surfing in muddy water than anything, I'm afraid...

Holy Cow, this is a neat photograph. Most folks wouldn't consider having the surfer be such a small part of the shot.

Unique shot with the tones you used. I like it. Like the reflection on the water also.
