I enjoy photographing surfers - waves are more dramatic in the winter but there was a decent swell the day I got this one.
Cropped, levels, saturation, USM

8 - Good capture. Difficult, but just a little sharper/more definition/clarity, the colors perhaps tweaked slightly and a more refined crop make this even better in my opinion. Perhaps a more vertical framing/crop may have given this an edge, especially using the 'lines' where the board is cutting into the water, who knows.
Im loving this... great colors, action, like the square crop, and control over the exposure.... since this is basic editing, no points off for not being able to clone out whatever is on your sensor or in the water on the left edge... 9
