Really great energy, color, illumination, and subject...powerful. I think that "dark/black strip" on left is a bit of an "orphan"...and not sure that really contributes anything other than that it was just  part of the tableau. I would look at it with 2/10ths+ cropped off the left as an option.

Excellent shot, and I'm jealous.
I have hundreds of surf shots, none of which have anything like the character of this one.

brandtb, I will try your suggestion.  Might also create better balance in the image.

Eric, like you, I also have many ok wave images.  I lucked out on this one. 

Thanks, RSL.

Excellent - everything about it. I wouldn't change it at all. Make a (very) large print.

Agreed. Excellent. BFP on your wall, too.

Thanks Jeremy, Peter, and francois.  I was hoping you guys thought it was good enough
to hang.
