Burning, Dodging, Unsharpen Mask. I'm pretty sure this won't do very well. Most people tend to take challenges at face value. Stock photography can be almost anything...obviously...but I have a feeling the average commenter is probably going to be looking for "feel good" vacation brochure pictures (overly happy people, having an unrealistically good time!). We'll see what happens.

The lighting is interesting. Awesome editing. It is interesting to go through all these pictures and see what others did to edit their shots. You did good! Congrats on top 10.
OK... now were talking, this is a print and hang on wall kind of shot. Unbelievable capture and great timing and the sky is just awesome! High marks here.
Excellent photo! You really can't ride on with the lighting the exposure to freeze the motion and the sky is outstanding. The composition is even great and I know you had issued on-the-fly. Don't change a thing. 10
I like the action happening in the forground. The waves are captured well. The sky and clouds don't look right to me. Clouds appear to have dark horizontal burn marks. It honestly looks like the forground was pasted onto a different background.
Nice photo. Great capture with the waves, nice detail on the spray and didn't overexpose. A bit of noise in the sky. Looks (to me anyway) that you did some post-processing and selected/layered the water and sky individually. Can see a distinct halo/line at the horizons edge that I wouldn't think is naturally occurring.
Great shot, captures a moment and a mood, composition and lighting super (only suggestion is to remove the border - while it does improve the shot artistically, no stock site would accept it with one)
