Nice shot, Dan #47713Mette Vendelboe Allison July 23, 2003
Great shot. You've caught the surfer and the waves in the background beautifully. However, I think it would have been even better if the front had been in focus too! #148507Theresa McCloskey July 23, 2003
very nice picture - nice capture #148512Tony Gough July 23, 2003
I like it, a great surfing pic which shows that you don't have to get in tight to make it look good. I think that the background add to the impact of the photo. #148654Gary W. Lake July 23, 2003
Cool catch Dan! #148782Dan S. Coquia July 23, 2003
Thanks All! I had fun watching these surfer kids falling of their surfboards into the water and getting back in many more times. They seemed to be really enjoying it. Meanwhile, the surf sprays and waves kept happening in the background and around them. Hence, the scene. #148905Dan S. Coquia July 23, 2003
Here's another photo to give you a sense of that scene. #148928Carol Brill July 23, 2003
Nice how you caught the air between the surfer's board and the wave! #149014Dan S. Coquia July 29, 2003
Thanks! Yes, after some anticipation, and shooting a couple or three frames when I thought that it was going to happen. At that time too, I was trying to maintain a sense of peripheral vision to maintain the composition so as not to loose the nice elements surrounding the subjects. #152773Cathy Barrows August 05, 2003
