Hi from the Critique Club,

You asked for your shot to have an in depth comment from a member of the Critique Club.

Lovely shot and the rule of thirds is bang on.

I think what is hurting this shot is the colour cast that you used. The sea probably is that colour from all the sand being churned up from the hurricane, but most people expect to see a lovely blue colour, I am loving the sepia tone of the water, reminds me of England.

So I think that having some blue would have helped here, so leaving the sky blue or going completely different and having this as a black and white would have helped.

Maybe a touch of contrast would have helped as well, you have very dramtic white horses (swell) going on and playing around with the selective colors would have brought out depth in them.

Great shot

Great shot...perfect third, and I like the sepia tones that really focus the attention on the surfer. Nice job! 8
