I'm surprised and disappointed this didn't do better. It has movement, interest, great colours and composition, the exposure is good, what more do people want? It was a 9 from me and should have been scored higher by everyone else ;)

Great timing, and the flying water helps make the shot.

Superb action shot. You caught the wave, the surfer, and the expression on his face - my favorite of the challenge.

Nicely shot. I always think the turn back into the wave surf photo lacks one thing: the wave. It looks more like water skying than surfing. But it is a classic surf photo format or view point. 7.

Love his expression. Maybe a touch red on the skin tones, but that's easily fixed. 7
