Cropped a fair bit. Shadows and highlights to bring the whites of the waves down, selective colour to bring the glow out in the wave and make the sky a bit darker. Usual noise ninja and USM

Hi from the Critique Club

Fit: This fits the challenge well, no problem there

Composition: Nice, you have placed the subject well and left plenty of room for them to surf into

Technical: I'm not sure I can find anything here to say that will be constructive.

Feel: The image is nice, and the score reflects that. This was a funny challenge in that it was very much a free study as long as you could find a username to fit the image. Given this you have achieved a very good result. Well done.
