Oh, I live at the beach and love to go skimboarding during the summer. So fun.

The subject is a complete silhouette, with less than 10% lit from the back (right), just enough to give shape/dimension. Great action shot! I was trying to remember if that was called a skimboard ... I haven't seen a real one in a long time ...

Lol
Greetings from the Critique Club
Funny I should get your image, because I just critiqued one of you images a few challenges ago. Well here it goes:

Composition: Possibly a little more space at the top and a little less at the bottom, but it is only minor. A little tilt may have helped as well.

Technical: Although it is a silhouettes challenge the sand and first wave seem a bit dark. Slightly less DOF or a lot of manuel blurring in the background would make the subject stand out a bit more.

Overall: AWSOME skimboarding picture. Great action capture. I love the splash, I love the frozen subject midair. I think this may have done a bit better if the subject was more silhouetted. Excellent job

Great action shot! Very clear and nice composition. Though I feel a slight rotation clockwise would improve this photo quite a bit. I really enjoy this shot and expect to see it doo quite well! Good luck!

Nice silhouette, nice composition, nice timing. Image appears a bit unsharp but, that may be due to overcompression of your image?

Great capture of the action. I love the soft brown sand at the base. Placement of the figure in the frame perfect.

Wonderful action shot - love the limited detail where the light defines his back, arms and calves. Compositionally I wonder if it would benefit from a touch more space at the top? Excellent entry!
