*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A great action shot.

Perfect timing, well done. I must admit that in pursuit of the shot I have put myself in equally precarious situations. Your choice of a slower shutter speed has enabled us to really experience the drama of the situation, the breaking wave has just the right amount of motion blur to help us fell the sheer power of it.

I see several of your commenters have picked up on the sharpening halos to the left, I can only agree with them, its a real shame, it mars an otherwise excellent image. There's not a lot you can do about the lighting but it would have been good if we could have got more definition of the wave against the sky. Its good to have some foreground included but the small amount we have here is not really adding anything and would probably be best cropped out. The exposure is good with plenty of detail throughout.

Another great shot Gudjon, well done, Sid

A shot to die for but the processing (sharpening perhaps?) leaves an unnatural impression on the left horizon. Still a 6 but might have done better.

Explosive.

Apparently your equipment survived. But nice position for a shot!

Powerful, but oversharpened around the rocks and the person. Remove the halo and this would have scored nicely with me.
