 I'm kinda bummed that this was DQd. But I'll just charge it to experience.

The bad part is that I used very little vignetting on Camera Raw which really had very minimal effect on the overall image when I cropped it. I could have done it without the vignette. Oh well, another lesson learned.

Thanks for all those who wrote comments. They are much appreciated! :)

I love the lighting of this photo. It reminds me of those vintage surfing photos you can get from some surf shops.

Great!
I believe cropping out the trees would have improved it even more

great light on the water. I would probably crop out the trees on top, they look unappealing somehow. not sure...
