    Personally, I like the color versions. The color of the water against the small surfer makes it look really intimidating.

    Yuppers. Once I figured out the type of image they want they accepted me. They also accepted my son. Thanks for the help.

    I like the tones of the first one best but think it could use some sharpening and/or maybe a bit of contrast boost.
    Keep Shooting!
