What really caught my attention is the shadow of the surfer on the water. Fantastic shot, thank you.

Very nice shot, I like the color of the wave as well as the calm water behind the wave. Good capture.

This is the best surf image I have seen yet..the capture of the wave and the spray creates a wonderful picture. Very good work from you. Will make a terrific desktop.

Hmm ... there may be more to this serendipty thing than I first thought.

You are an accomplished photographer as evidenced by your work in your galleries ... and as I just noticed the info on your profile, lol. Ahh, yeah ... just a little red in the cheeks from my faux pas.

This is another great capture. I would not normally have given this a second look, but, technically the elements are very strong and they grabbed my attention. I love the moment in time that you have caught here, as he carves and casts a spray. I can only imagine the challenges of this shot. Nice work.

Surfs Up!! Looks like blood rushing fun. I'm a bit chicken for such activities but given the right expert I might sucbumb. In Canada there's not much of a surfing industry (that I'm aware of), the water is very cold. A very nice picture and a great dipiction of surfing fun!! Thanx for sharing..........................LPF

don't know if i ever told you, but this is a great shot. we almost bought a condo near swami"s. our sons were ecstatic. hate to say it but we let them down. surfing is something i love to watch. we spend lots of time in kauai where we know some of the really good kids quite well. they get the big stuff in the winter and unfortunately i never get to see it. also, i love the title "big wednesday". i've seen the movie over and over and over. congrats on getting the essence of the sport so well!
