surfers are smiling :)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

with all the bad weather Sydney has been having lately the coast is taking a beating but the surfers are loving the big waves

3rd time out with my 70-200vr and have still to find a sunny dry day to try this lens out

Keith,

Two great shots.

Is the guy on the right in the first shot also in the second shot? There appears to be a resemblance.

they looked similar to me but I just boosted the exposure on the B&W to check and they are in different wetsuits and there was no way anyone would be changing wetsuits out in that weather

I keep going down to the beach but there are no waves in Coffs at the moment.

Nice images too.

I like the first photo. It looks like one guy is contemplating a surf and the other has already made up his mind. Also like the colors in the second one
