In the original the girl was pretty well in the middle, with other board riders above her. I considered two crops - the other one with her on the left, but that one had a bit of another board near the right edge and I thought it might have been too big a detail to clone out.
Open in Picasa (because I can try a few different crops and view them easily)

Surprised no comments were given, your image captures something that speaks of human experience, and has a sense of story and emotion about it. I think it is a well captured, well composed image and deserved a better response than a being given a mark and not a single comment.
