Thats an amazing photograph.. how did you take it?

Surf shots rule the sports category!

Whoa! It must be difficult to take such an "action picture" and get that amazing definition! But, at the same time you captured him still, that photo seems to show water movements. Very high definition; and the main subject in the picture shares the leading role with that sparkling wave, in a very measured way.

8 - Good surf shot, good capture of the wave 'cut' and 'spray'. Criticism; more detail, maybe stronger colors, different crop. Given the water 'spray', maybe black and white for this would work, not sure.

Wow! Awesome action shot. Great clarity for the long zoom, and a nice range of colours in the water.

Well done! Excellent stop motion capture. The orange plays nicely off the blue. Like the board being in the center. 9 - good luck in the challenge!

Nice capture. All the action of the water added to the effect. I prefer a little more DOF.
