| Thanks everyone for all your wonderful comments and suggestions. Yes, I agree on some of your suggestions about...cropping, yada, yada...etc. I could have put a lot more time to work on this but I'm new to this community and challenge. This picture was taken on the last day of the year. Again Mahalo. |

| I like the way you can see the different stages of getting on the wave and riding it. This doesn't have the huge "OH WOW" factor that some surfing photos have that are more close up and in the action. This is more a spectator's perspective. |

| Find an Ad agency, sell this picture. Makes me want to surf (or at least watch someone surf). |

| I know it wouldn't be a good idea for DPC, but this shot would do well with an extreme horizontal crop. There's a lotta blown-out white water there that isn't all needed. The horizon could also do with a leveling. Great shot though. |

| A very nice action photo! I can almost feel the adrenalin of the surfers. The size doesn't do it justice here and seems like a large part of the foreground white seems overblown in highlights and overshadows the surfers' actions. Maybe crop out the foreground a little more? Also wish the horizon didn't look like it was tilted to the right. |

| A little overexposed in the forground surf, which pulls your eyes away from the surfers. Those, however, are nice, and I like the action. |

| Nice, very nice, not quite a 10 but close enough, gave this a 9. Phenomenal composition and the blown out highlights on the bottom waves don´t even bother me in the least, that just seems fitting for the shot and draws attention to the upper part of the photo with the surfers. Nice work! |

| Seems a bit bright at the bottom, so maybe cropping in closer to put more emphasis on the surfers would be an alternative? |

| I love the layers of sky, and water and then the punch of color that is the surfers. |

| When I give a photo a 10, it is because I feel it is wonderfual all the way around. Therefore, I have no real comment other than to say I gave you a 10! |

| Haven't paid attention to surf photographs but this must have been a special moment to get so many surfers in one shot! Overall nice and clean focus, don't know about the crop though.. |

| That's a cool lookin' shot. Too bad the bottom 3rd is washed out. 7 nonetheless. |
