good capture (the surfer) but i feel there could have been more work done seen it was advanced editing alot of empty space too

Nice shot. I think the gloomyness of the water has a nice effect.

THis works. Photo a little bleak, but not the worst of the good ones.

I think that this should be cropped a bit more because the main subject of this photo is the surfer. That would give more of a POW!

Good image, but could have been post processed to look more like a movie poster.

Good title - lots of potential in the image but I can't help thinking the composition and other editing aspects could have been used for more dramatic effect.
