How cold that water looks! The pose of the would-be surfer adds to the sense of coldness - he does look rather reluctant to join his fellow surfer!

The surfers against the bridge make it look even more imposing and strong

This is a nice image. The dark sky is really cool. Kind of different that you don't see much of the bridge. Just enought to let you know where you are. Nice shot.

BTW. It's interesting, I've been underneath that bridge several times but I have never crossed it.

I'm glad that you did this just the way it is, I like the focus being on the surfer.

You know what I like about this photograph. You didn't try to push the complete bridge (which has been photographed from every possible angle) into the shot, you let the subjects remain the subjects while giving the viewer a glimpse of an icon to the left. Nicely done. Bump-up

I wish the person in the water weren't there... so the surfboard guy would be dreaming of being in the water or something. As it is, the guy in the water seems to be the subject and he's too small to be seen clearly.

What waves are they trying to surf?
What is your title even saying?
 03/16/2009 09:45:45 PM
Fitting title. What are they doing? Surfing under the GG?

Having the boarder underneath provides a great scale reference. Nice shot.

too bad image quality - sorry - its grainy and full of optical errors guess your lens isnt the best - keep it up
 03/14/2009 06:00:53 PM
I love the sense of scale in this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like it very much. I'm wondering whether the cropping could be improved--something seems a little off (nit-picking here--it really is very nice). Have you tried cropping in a little more from the right? Also, for the future, I'm curious what it would have looked like down more at his level. Might have given an even better sense of the waves and the grandeur of the bridge. Just some thoughts--I like it because it looks cold and sort of menacing. - 8

I like the small figures against the bridge, really lends a sense of scale
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Of all the gazillion shots of this bridge I don't think I've ever seen one featuring surfers.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:03:28 PM
The person really adds perspective to how massive that bridge is
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This seems like a really strange location to do some surfing, but what do I know. It's a cool shot, just a little too noisy for my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

If you surf here, you gotta like the cold. This makes me empathize with a surfer's commitment.

Nice shot and title
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Image is rather noisy which is distracting. The composition works alright.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:51:07 PM
I like the foreground much better then the background which is a little noisy but a great story with lots of interest.

Wow he looks so small in contrast to the world. Nice job putting things in perspective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:56:20 PM
too bad the light is so flat
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:35:24 PM
I love the pop of color from the bridge and the way the black wetsuit stands out against the white foam.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:23:41 AM
A different take on the Golden gate--I think I might have cropped more of the right side off.

A bit of wave action may have added to the shot. Interesting outlook all the same.
