Judges Comments

A sports action shot of a young surfer riding a small wave and the standard requirements of having the face, the focus and action have been ticked. The composition is also nice with the leading line of the
wave taking us to the surfer who is nicely framed by the background spray. To improve the image try addressing the tonal difference of the bright leading arm with the background arm and the
face which are quite dark. The image also appears to be shot from a higher angle and changing the point of view to a lower position may have increased the perceived size of the surfer and wave.
