Description

I know this photograph wont be too popular. It lacks contrast vibrant colors and bright whites. I know all this and I liked this version the best. The photography Conditions Sucked... hazy crapy day.

The Version I liked after this one was the desaturated version I worked on. Then The Color Vibrant Version, that is typical of my other surf Photography.

What I have here is something I like. Im sure most of you will disagree so I have given you 3 other version of this photo, The Bright Vibrant Version, The Desaturated Version, and the Original.

So C&C welcome. Please check out the links.

Here is the original Image I had to start from:

yay surfing pictures! i love em. and after looking at all the different versions i liek this one the most because the saturation on one of them was way too high and it was distracting..but i lieked the black and white because of the contrast of the water with the frothy bubbles...but thats not really the subject. with this it relaxes my eyes... and uuhhhh its very clear.. the normal one was too sharp for me... blinds me too.. too white. i liek the glassy yellow tint look. i see it alot in surf mags. awesome spray affect with the water. uuuuh yeah... i love it. and .... muah

I like it. Sky is a little noisy I guess but it isn't unbearable or anything. It is a good capture. Where is this by the way?

I've seen the original image and with that in my mind this is a good capture.
Too bad for you the weather wasn't good...
I like the dynamics of this picture and his pose, good work.

Very dynamic. You've time the capture of the surfer and the spray very nicely.

I dont think it lacks anything! It is full of energy and you captured that line of spray perfectly I think.

You did a GREAT job here! great capture of the moment and excellent sharpening work in post-processing!
my fav is the monotoned version! and I'd try a high-contrast BW-version too.

my top marks! +10

Looks like people like it enough to put in the top 10!

Even without the contrast and colors that you pointed out, this image still has a nice sense of energy and motion. Nice capture!

The moment is great, but I think you've overdone the sharpening a bit (but not too much).
Colours could be better, but the right moment doesn't always come in the right time of the day, does it
