Good that you took the shot in an unusual location. points for that. Got to get that sharpness though if you want to please the focus freaks on dpc.

very cool environment for the shot. bit blurry, but I suppose a tripod was out of the question. :)

This would be awesome if it was in focus.

I'm jealous! I haven't been surfing since 1990. ): This shots a little soft but you've got good color and light.

Like this image, too bad your face wasn't just a little more in focus. Still a really neat action shot!!

Out of focus but good idea just needs a little more effort.

Wow, what a gutsy move. You must have one of the water proof cases or maybe it's a ziplock. Either way, you scored points for a difficult shot to obtain. Surfs up.

Can only imagine how difficult this shot was to get, but it needs to be sharper for my tastes.

I realize under the circumstances, that this might have been a difficult shot to get as is, but The focus is very soft throughout the entire photo. There are some harsh highlights on the face, and the horizon line isn't horizontal.
I do like the composition though, with the person off to the left of the photo and not in the center. That works well here. Not sure if I like the 'I held the cam in front of my face and snap' look though. Nice to meet you non the less!

I like this self portrait, since it appears to be you in your natural environment...

This is really cool, just wish it were more in focus.

Despite it being soft the point of view is pretty cool.

just a bit soft but great environment

Great idea but still it needed to be in focus so the technical details of this shot is hurting the score I gave you. Like I said though, good idea.

Is that a shark fin behind you? ;-)

Excellent concept, but the blurry focus on the primary subject hurts the shot a lot. I like the composition and perspective and the catch lights in your eyes, but the focus problem is hard to overlook.

Great concept, wish it were a bit more clear.
