Nice job, I like #1 and the series of the surfer getting swallowed by the wave, just wish they were a bit tighter, but they still look good.

That first shot is the best for me, definitely.
I just wish he wasn't walking mostly on his heels.
Yes, I know that's the only way to walk in flippers - I've done flippers and belly boarding myself back in my 20s. Just one web-footed print in the sand...

You've got the motion going into the image, you've got a wonderful sky, the sea horizon is straight, the timing of his walk with the flipper on the sand - it's all there.

I wonder though if some adjustment can bring up the colours on his board, perhaps a little more contrast in the sky too. It's great, I like it, but it's a little bit short of poking me in the eyes and making me go WOW!
