One of my all time favorites ever! As a surfer and new Dad, this is the stoke I can't wait to see in my son's face. The photo put it on mine! Well Done!!!!!!

I actually like this a lot ..... I not completely sold on the crop but I'd like to play around with it a bit.....this looks like a series in a fine art show to me......I'm actually sorta surprised how much I like this.....I'm not usually drawn to images like this.........

fabulous photo! I love that if you squint your eyes you can lose the subject but yet the subject is so obvious. This photo is a real accomplishment. Congrats on a recognizing a very sophisticated composition and getting a great capture. .............Boy that comment sounds more pretentious than anything I have ever written here but I really like this shot so I'll bear my own pretention.

I notice that you shot this at 5.6. With sports shots, particularly those featuring a single athlete, always shoot wide open (at 1.7. in this case) This will help to separate the subject from the background. Also, get closer if you can.
