Winter Surfer

[Bruce A]

This was taken back in May while on our holiday at Byron Bay. This is the month before winter sets in and more and more wetsuits are appearing in Byron's fabulous clear blue waters. A Nik film filter was used with a little ps post work. I hope this works okay for this shot. What do you think as well as any other critique. Thanks.

Maybe it's just my monitor, but I think there's a hint of magenta on his face. Nice shot, though.

Thanks. I'm not getting magenta on my monitor and it's been recently calibrated. I did make his face a touch lighter with the dodge tool though.

The water looks very pretty and the composition is very good. I would love to take shots like this.

Thank you for your comments Fais4 - and you do take some great shots.

I like it Bruce. I like how the wave is defined with the surf roiling out behind him, then just over the wave, the ocean has a nice soft texture. Nice motion shot, thanks.
