    Nice work, Gus!

    I love the shot of all the waves coming in, and many of the surfer shots are really outstanding.

    WOW!
    These are amazing shots. I love the one with the city skyline behind the surfer.

    With a little burning of the skyline (to reduce the brightness a tad) this would be a magnificent shot

    Gus, I spent about 5 minutes on my lappy working on this, trying a technique I learned from Margulis, applying the Red channel to Lightness in LAB. It works really well with water. I didn't get it quite right, but it shows what's possible with getting more oomph out of your water, I think.

    WOW, these are incredible... All my faves have been mentioned: the waves, the skyline, and the surfer closeup with his hand dragging.

    Why are you posting files in Adobe RGB?

    Cowabunga Dude !!
    Gus,
    These are really good. I'm with Doc, Andy and Andrew. That skyline pic is great. With some p/p it will be stunning. If no one else will help you send me a RAW file and I will butcher it for you :D

    The line of waves coming in using a wide perspective is also outstanding. Some of the "in the curl" shots are also extremely well done.

    Forget the "I don't know what I'm doin' crap". Your pics prove you wrong. One pic, maybe you could get lucky. But a set like this takes skill thumb.gif

    Good work mate, and maybe the hand injury is helping your style....Laughing.gif
