Without the surfer, you have just another typical sunset over water shot. With him you have a much more potent shot. Great job. Tells a part of a story.

This doesn't feel "candid" to me; it's more of a scenic or mood shot. I wish the horizon were leveled, though.

Lovely, probably a winner. I personally would have bumped the color up a tad, but the light on the waves and the almost silhouette are very nice.

Fantastic photo, with a great range of tones and values. The darkness of the surfer and his board with the reflection really adds to the photo. IMHO, If you did a few things to it it would really have punch....increase the saturation and contrast and adjust levels. I copied it and also ran it through Neat Image and liked the results. The horizon line is crooked and it is too close to dead center for my tastes. Still I love it and am giving it a high score.

This is a really great shot and a perfect subject for this challenge. I think the image would be a bit more dramatic if it were darkened, but it still looks great as it is. Very nice job!

Beautifully composed candid and use of framing (for both the surfer and the for the sun). In my top 10 for this challenge...7. Great image.

Love the sky and the waves in this shot. Exposure is excellent in this shot...was probably quite difficult to preserve the dynamic range. The only suggestion I can make is to level the horizon with a fractional clockwise rotation. Still, not distracting enough to be a major issue. One of the best this round. 9
