Great shots, thanks for sharing. The black and white is very special as is the one with the young wahine

[tomcat360]

Number two is awesome---just because it's such a textbook perfect ride. Dry barrel and clean. The black and white is great too.

In number three he looks excessively shiny, I'm guessing nothing been done?

Great shots!!! You're a brave man being out there with expensive equipment. I probably would have fallen in lol.

[greatshot]

Great shots!! Where were you?

[mikeassk]

nice shots!

the first five are simply fantastic. lighting is just great and the processing on the 5th gives it a retro kinda feel that really captures the mood. I would offer one small suggestion on the first one (and only because its an image thats worth considering anything that might even make it better). Anyway, a simple crop would be awesome. Basically crop out the house and by standers on the beach up to the largish tree. It would give it more of an isolated feel imo and bring all of your attention on the two surfers only. Just a thought but that's what I'd do. Oh yeah, it would also change yoru comp a little and move the subject from center frame to right on that magic rule of thirds line.

I agree and will give it a go! Thanks!
