More red tones for early morning, unless it's before sunrise...

Now, applying a slight blue tone to B&W photographs can be pretty neat sometimes but you most definitely did overdo it here. The tone needs to be much more subtle! It's also a bit too purple for my taste.

As for the picture itself I think you should have cropped somehwat closer to the action. 30%-50% of the sky should be cut out and and I think it would have been nicer had you croped a tiny bit more from the right and maybe also from left.

The picture is also a bit too dark for my taste. Perhaps you are working with a too bright LCD-monitor?

Great capture, but the blue hue doesn't do it justice.

I would prefer a vertical of just the right half. Dark or dull.

Could use a touch more lightening up. But otherwise a very good shot.

the coloring makes the surfer blend in with the bg too much. depending on the original, this might have been better in color.

Lovely duo-tone of this image. Looks like you shot it on an overcast day. Seems a bit too neat-imaged for my taste. Great action.

Good color choice here. Love the blue tone. Surfer is in the right position in the photo. Good focus.

Great saturation. THe stop action is great. I love the foamy waves. Maybe a tad less darkness of his skin tone. This is an awesome shot. 9
