Oh, but I like what the processing does with the water!

I was gonna say, this ain't in Oman! For one thing, she's seriously underdressed. :-) GREAT action shot! And I can't find fault with the processing, but I ain't picky on that sort of thing anyway. Very good composition, especially catching the shape of the wave behind her.

Hey, Toto, I don't think we're in Oman anymore!

I don't like the post-processing I did on this. I agree that it's over-sharpened.

Great position (you hitch a ride?!) and a wonderful moment. That huge tube behind her shows what she has to deal with.

It's a touch too sharp in places and lacking in some strong light, but it's still a commendable capture.

You really captured the concentration on the subjects face and the awesome power of the wave in the background. Congrats.

Superb capture. I'd crop some of the calm water at the bottom.
