What is this fellow thinking?

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.

Taken at Jetty beach this afternoon, big swell delighting the crazy grommetts. I wonder what this fellow is thinking as the wave approaches?

"Maybe I should have taken up chess instead of surfing?"

Max is there and after shot? I suppose not as the wave looks big enough to have wiped both of you out.
Nice capture, I would have like to see the surfers feet and the top of the wave on the right, but that is just me being picky :)

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

I'm not sure how to dry out a lens/camera, but I know my car is salt encrusted.

He's obviously waiting for the sea to spit out the other half of his surfboard. :wink:

"What are you doing up there?"

His mate is being sucked out to sea, bound for Lord Howe island!

On second thoughts, this photo may actually be chronologically before the first, as his friend hurtles toward the rocks at breakneck speed...

Nah... he's probably waiting for the surf to pick up!

Nice captures Max. Wish I was there.

Max I think the second one is even better, it tells a real story. IMHO it is better than the first
