Hey Yuck,
Looks like a nice day to be out!

Did you add the star highlights in post processing? If so, how does it look w/o them. They tend to blow out the image -- especially around your subject.

Additionally, to me your subject is some what lost in the wave. The 2nd crop helps bring the surfer out. But, I'm thinking s/he still needs more presence. Maybe a slight curves adjustment.

BR,
Tim
