Congratulations on top ten finish..this was a wonderful picture of the immensity of nature.

Many congratulations on your high placement with a difficult topic!

Congrats on another good score. Did not vote but do like this one a lot. Good minimalism and B&W is the right choice for it. Man, break out that heated wetsuit, you gotta be pretty hard core to surf the northern Oregon coast. Burrrr! :)

Great image and congrats on the top ten finish. I was thinking of something similiar for this challenge but got the bird instead. well done

Excellent lighting and photograph. It's amazing that an individual pictured as the size of an ant, can still add that much character to the photograph.

Very nice shot zoom, serene and understated and effective. Probably would've ribboned if you'd stuck the rock in over there on the left, LOL.

Very good job. The surfer is very very small but yet it was the first thing that caught my eye. 8

I love the feel that the grayscale gives to this image.

great shadows and light and framing

I like that this photo is visually interesting all over. I think that your choice of making this monochrome is a good one.

I dig the minimalism, came back to bump it to a 10

outstanding. sweet composition. I really like the feeling of this image in B&W. highlights are a bit too bright for my taste.
Post actions
Saw this elsewhere :) Good work.

where to begin... this shot sucks so much that i not only have to give it a ten but also have to add it to my favourites. AMAZING! :-)

Wow, great point of view

Good composition. Well exposed. I don't think b&w convertion serve the picture; looks too monochromatic. If it were the effect you wanted, it's a success. Still a good picture.

Wonderful shot..love the lighting.

Image seems to need alot of work to make it clearer. If you took care of the technical problem this image would be something I would like to hang on my walls because I am a surfer and can relate to what you are capturing here
Post actions
you really went full hog on the description of the challenge....i needed a magnifying glass to see the subject...but there never was a doubt what the subject was .....great job

Great subject contained in this great vastness. The shadow adds an acute interest to complete the image. Good work. Bumping up.
Post actions
great texture throughout the shot. 8

very nice - i love the b&w. the curve of the wave as it lays on the beach enhances this photo in such a way to reinforce my focus on the subject. gj
Post actions
Good use of b&w; I like the way this image intensifies the immensity of the sea and sky when contrasted with the small figure in foreground..8
Post actions
Very soft image. Nice scale to the horizon. I gave it a 7.
Post actions
very nice look to this photo. fits the challenge well
Post actions
This is a really nice image. I like how you shot this in black and white. I love all the contrast seen in this image. Nice work.
Post actions
Beautiful lower part. but the upper part is very uninteresting. Perhaps a square crop from the bottom would help? -7
Post actions
There are probably many voters who think this should be in color. Not me. I am glad you converted it - I think the depth and tonal range you got from B&W pushes this image into the top 5 for this challenge. there is so much more detail than you would ordinarily see in the play of shadows and reflection. 10 for an excellently executed image. Good luck!
