I like it. Very good composition and detail in the water. I like your surfing shots too.

Very nice tube Robert. I am curious how it would look a little darker, but your composition is good regardless.

Thanks for the feedback I will keep that in mind. I lightened the image at the last minute so you may be on to something!

Backwash!!!! Arrrrrgh! Thanks to backwash I currently have a torn meniscus in my knee from surfing and being hit in a situation very similar to that. Nice shot though Robert.

Beautiful shot Robert

Brings back fond memories of when I was living in Santa Barbara and watching my buddies surf there back in the late 70's. I'm with Tom though.. It looks a little light on my HP screen.. I'd like to see it a bit darker...beautiful color in that water..

Lovely shot. What I'm most impressed with is that you could hand hold the 500mm! If I tried that I'd get a lot of pictures of my toes.

Cheers!

Proper shutter speed and practice

I always use at least 1/125o s and higher for good results.

Thanks.
