nice juxta, and use of those eejits.

How cold that water looks! The pose of the would-be surfer adds to the sense of coldness - he does look rather reluctant to join his fellow surfer!

The surfers against the bridge make it look even more imposing and strong

This is a nice image. The dark sky is really cool. Kind of different that you don't see much of the bridge. Just enought to let you know where you are. Nice shot.

I'm glad that you did this just the way it is, I like the focus being on the surfer.

You know what I like about this photograph. You didn't try to push the complete bridge (which has been photographed from every possible angle) into the shot, you let the subjects remain the subjects while giving the viewer a glimpse of an icon to the left. Nicely done. Bump-up

Nicely captured! Excellent framing and clarity! 8

I wish the person in the water weren't there... so the surfboard guy would be dreaming of being in the water or something. As it is, the guy in the water seems to be the subject and he's too small to be seen clearly.

Lovely scene of this famous bridge.

What waves are they trying to surf?

too bad image quality - sorry - its grainy and full of optical errors guess your lens isnt the best - keep it up

I love the sense of scale in this shot.

I like it very much. I'm wondering whether the cropping could be improved--something seems a little off (nit-picking here--it really is very nice). Have you tried cropping in a little more from the right? Also, for the future, I'm curious what it would have looked like down more at his level. Might have given an even better sense of the waves and the grandeur of the bridge. Just some thoughts--I like it because it looks cold and sort of menacing. - 8

I like the small figures against the bridge, really lends a sense of scale

Of all the gazillion shots of this bridge I don't think I've ever seen one featuring surfers.

The person really adds perspective to how massive that bridge is

This seems like a really strange location to do some surfing, but what do I know. It's a cool shot, just a little too noisy for my taste.
Post actions
If you surf here, you gotta like the cold. This makes me empathize with a surfer's commitment.

Image is rather noisy which is distracting. The composition works alright.
Post actions
I like the foreground much better then the background which is a little noisy but a great story with lots of interest.

looks a little flat but its a unique image

Wow he looks so small in contrast to the world. Nice job putting things in perspective.
Post actions
too bad the light is so flat
Post actions
I love the pop of color from the bridge and the way the black wetsuit stands out against the white foam.
Post actions
A different take on the Golden gate--I think I might have cropped more of the right side off.
Post actions
Brrrr. That San Francisco water is COLD.

Where's the surf man??? 5

A bit of wave action may have added to the shot. Interesting outlook all the same.
