the sky is a little soft but other than that it looks incredible.
i think it would look better sepia or with a slight glow though :)

The sky on the right side is a bit bright robbing detail from the lighthouse, but still a good picture. Great composition...

This is a beautiful image Liban. I'm sure this web sized version does not do it any justice. I would love to be able to look at this as a large print. Did you shoot this digitally or on film?

Regards,

Agree that this is a great composition but the light on the right hand side of the image isn't helping the end result, toning down may well help. Without the surfer who is out of the water it would bt a bit tricky to tell what the specks in the water actually are but I think the end result works well overwell.

Wow, great picture! The sky doesn't bother me at all.

That's a carefully composed picture for sure. I am really drawn by the waves in the foreground, there is a particular quality to them. I do wish that the hot spot at the right in the sky wasn't there.

Seb

yes, the sky to the right doesnt quite fit in, if that had matched the sky at the left this owuld have been a perfect photo.

other than that, well done

i think thats some tight jawn, bravo

Thanks guys.

Yeah, the sky on the right side is a bit overexposed. I thought lighthouse would stand out more because of it (although I didn't do it on purpose).

But now that most are unanimous in that it distracts. I'm gonna have to give it another look and see what I can do.

Yes the upright Surfer saves this shot, I tried to time one of them on a wave. This one worked out just fine. I hadn't been on the wave, they would've looked like ducks or something at this size. Although in the original the people are more prominent.

Thanks for the feedback as always people :D

and CL, I shoot Digital. This was with my D70s.

Just fixed the sky on the top right and I did one more edit, anyone notice what it was?

Ok I prefer this version with just the single surfer - Oh! do I get a prize?

Nicely captured

You win the grand prize Roger!

I will steal one of your shots and put it up as my desktop image :D
