| I like the color huesand sun light, not sure if the solar glare helps or hurts the image. |

| I love the concept of your photo, but find the sun flare a bit distracting. The golden colours are lovely, although it would have been even better with a more dramatic sky. |

| Absolutely love the vibrant colours in the photo, the composition and even the subtle reflection of the board! Too bad about the lens flare but in all fairness, there's not much that can be done about it abiding by basic editing rules. Good job! |

| Endless Summer...and to catch the perfect wave:-) Seen parts of the film but not all and I see the strong connection you are establishing here in the shot. The colors are really bold and vibrant reds, oranges and yellows. While the colors are eye-catching and appealing you want to be careful not to have too much of it. While it is really cool how the fins on the surboard appear to be superheated hot (perhaps a subtle referance to how bloody hot it is down under;-) ) the sky being a flat tone of pure yellow is not as appealing. Perhaps just adjusting the composition to just include the ocean waves, the surfboard and the sand with a little bit of the sky would have been more visually appealing ( love the appealing fade in's of the colors from yellow to orange to reds and then the dark blacks as the eye travels from the background to the foreground). The other thing that prevents this photo from moving up into the extraordinary category is the blown out highlights on the surfboard (some of the lines are lost on the curve as the sun plays upon the top middle of the board) and the sunspots. The sunspots and those blown highlights are distractions and blemishes that prevent the shot from moving to good to great. Possibly changing the aperature or angle would have removed the problem but the strong sun might still cause havoc. Not sure what camera you might have but some camera's come with a lens hood attachment that stops the flares from showing up in your shot ... if you don't have it sometimes (certainly not all for it depends on angle) just simply putting your hand over the top of the lens (like when you put your hand up to your forehead to block out the sun or look off into the horizon) might do the trick. |

| The golds and reds in this create a beautiful juxtaposition of colours. Very nice - especially like the 3 sharklike fins on the surfboard & the wide expanse of beachland & water. |

| I really like this, I would have like a bit more sky detail as the band of yellow I see as the weak part of the shot. |

| WOW! Overdone a little but this captures everything we know about Aussies. The sun ,sand, surf. The lens flare makes the shot. Perfect |
