Would be nicer if the framing did not cut off his feet.

I agree, but unfortunately, I think I was focusing more on his head than the whole bird.

Awesome shot, if you bring out the colours a bit you have a winner

Very nice. You might crop a bit from the left and the bottom so the subject isn't so centered

Author, did you Photoshop this image?

No I did not, I did a light edit, but the photo is pretty much as shot the surfer is one of my nephew's friends

To kyricom thanks for the compliment. As to the crop on these type of surf shots I prefer to keep the surfer at center and keep as much of the wave in the shot as possible The violence of the wave and the surf that day was to me the essence of the photo.

Great photo, and I love the lightening in the background.
