The surfing on the beaches of the South of Bali is a sport running for numerous sportsmen coming very often from Australia.
This photo was taken since a cliff.

A very nice, cool action/sports shot. Sports photography isnt really seen here much, perhaps it has a stigma of lacking artistry or a higher purpose, but I disagree with that. Your shot is well done.

C'est effectivement une belle scène d'action, et originale par son point de vue et la présence du deuxième personnage sur la droite qui équilibre la composition. Je te propose un recadrage qui supprime la partie "blanche" dans le bas (et j'ai aussi donné un petit coup de réglages aux couleurs pour corriger la dominante bleue, mais pour cette dernière partie, ça se discute vraiment).

PS : je pense qu'il faudra quand même un peu de temps avant de regarder une photo d'une vague en Indonésie sans qu'elle évoque le tsunami... Est-ce que cette zone a été touchée?

Hi Philippe,
amazing shot! Great action! How have you been able to take this? I didn't see cliffs in Kuta ... only a long sand beach.
I really like this.

Ah Philippe!

How good is the Mother Ocean! Nice capture here of this surfing man... nature's gift and the thrill of the ride.

Lovely hue's and blue tones... thanks!
