Took this one in oct 2006. I had been surfing with my friends, my shoulder was hurting a bit so I was the first one to leave the water. I dont take many surf pictures beacause I rather be surfing than taking photographs.
The weather was wierd that day, like most days here in Iceland, and the sun was coming out of the cloudes every once in a while and this photo was taken at one of those moments.
I thought this photo was just ok, I liked it, nothing more. People that have seen it thought it was so awesome I thought why not put it in this challange.

Thanx for all the great comments :) Glad you like it.

Congratulations with your personal best and an awesome shot. Really disappointed that it didn´t place higher. Öðruvísi mynd og mjög sterk, til hamingju samt með nýtt persónulegt met á DPC.
I just wanted to say how awesome this is...take away the surf board and you have an amazing still from a sci-fi film. This is possibly my favorite in whole challenge...
The surfer is show sharp and crisp the photo doesn't even feel real. The lighting is perfect and your conversion to black and white leaves the photos rich with tone, bumping up to ten
Very interesting. I could almost be convinced that this is a small toy. The relative perspective is strange. Good work and BW looks like a good choice. 9
Superb study of lighting and commend you on not only the shot, but the post-processing as well!
Had to come back for two reasons:
A bump up and to add to my favorites - very well done!
There's an incredible sense of warped scale here, aided by the lighting and the heavy vignetting. This could be an action figurine, and those could be tiny pebbles. Great work, and good luck!
My favorite Black and White in the challenge. Terrific lighting. Use of scale is amazing. Wonderful focus. It all comes together. One of my highest rated in the challenge.
He looks like a miniature surfer walking over what appear to be giant size pebbles. While the lighting is very good it seems too bright on the surfer in relation to the rocks. He does "pop" from the scene so that's probably your intent.
Var einmitt að velta því fyrir mér hvenær ég sæi þessa aftur. Frábær mynd. Lítur út eins og einhverskonar ofurmenni ;) Færð fullt hús frá mér. Gangi þér vel.
