I really like the natural framing, wished it could have finished a few slots higher.

Would like to see more colors on the sky, anyway I gave it a 10 since I like the lighting vs the action... The surfist is very well lit even being inside the tube, the drawback seems to be the white sky.

You have frozen the surfer perfectly and I love the flatness of the wave just before it curls, great work

White sky and foam in the foreground are a bit distracting for me

Excellent shot! Some sort of pixel information (it looks totally white on my screen) in the sky would have bumped it higher for me.

I love how he is in the wave. 10 from me!

I like the way you have processed the surfer in this one. It's like he has a spolight shining on him. Would have cropped out more of the dead area at the top but still a great capture.
