Nice Day for a surf!!!

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.

Nice Day for a surf!!!

This afternoon I thought I'd go down to Alexandra Headlands and give my new 8 gig card a try while there was a few surfer's about.

I won't bore you with too many but here's a nice series you might enjoy.

Nice series, I like the first one the best, but I could see this working well were you have one shot enlarge quiet big, and the other shots smaller but displayed in sequence below, all matted and framed. Do you know the guy surfing ? If you did I'd approach him see if he'd like prints, or enlargment framed ?

Yesterday when I was taking these pics off the rocks at Alex a couple of very hot!! little bikini babe surfers smiled and waved as they arrived and prepared to get in the water with their boards. I figured they probably just wanted me to take their pics.

Anyway, this morning when I went for my coffee at "Raw Energy" I took a couple of A4 prints done on Crane Museo Silver Rag to show my mate Brian. It was my shout and the little blonde who served me said " Bob was that you taking the pics at Alex yesterday". Turns out she was one of the hot!! babes - the one in the red bikini. So I showed her the pics I had in hand and her boss Geoff (also a keen surfer) came over to see also.
They both instantly recognised the surfer who is a local and ex national longboard champion. They both loved pic No. 2 above and insist he will want to buy it from me.
I am going to spend a bit more time on this pic in PP and print it on my Epson 2400 on A3+ "silver rag"

How much should I charge this guy for the Pic?
Interested in what you all think.
