		| | Good that you took the shot in an unusual location.  points for that.  Got to get that sharpness though if you want to please the focus freaks on dpc. |

		| | I'm jealous! I haven't been surfing since 1990. ): This shots a little soft but you've got good color and light. |

		| | Like this image, too bad your face wasn't just a little more in focus. Still a really neat action shot!! |

		| | Wow, what a gutsy move.  You must have one of the water proof cases or maybe it's a ziplock.  Either way, you scored points for a difficult shot to obtain.  Surfs up. |

		| | Can only imagine how difficult this shot was to get, but it needs to be sharper for my tastes. |

		| | I realize under the circumstances, that this might have been a difficult shot to get as is, but The focus is very soft throughout the entire photo.  There are some harsh highlights on the face, and the horizon line isn't horizontal. I do like the composition though, with the person off to the left of the photo and not in the center.  That works well here.  Not sure if I like the 'I held the cam in front of my face and snap' look though.  Nice to meet you non the less!

		| | Despite it being soft the point of view is pretty cool. |

		| | Great idea but still it needed to be in focus so the technical details of this shot is hurting the score I gave you.  Like I said though, good idea. |

		| | Excellent concept, but the blurry focus on the primary subject hurts the shot a lot.  I like the composition and perspective and the catch lights in your eyes, but the focus problem is hard to overlook. |
