hi Rafael

Fantastjki' picture with the person he is ready him to put with the sea.
beautiful frame, colours

Great composition, Rafael. I like that you have left the surfer in the top left and we have a great expanse of beach and the waves crashing in. Excellent photograph.

Strange decision of TE. I think they can exclude almost everyone as critiquer.
Anyway this is a great shot. That lonely surfer, hesitating if he has the courage to go in. The colours of the sand bank gives a special atmosphere to the picture.

What a nice moment of glamour of the nature. Surfer as a spot gives a good balance.
Great composition .
I like it a lot.

Hi Rafael

Isto é superb! Eu gosto do elemento gráfico do surfer solitário no fundo mostrado em silhueta de encontro ao mar. Parabens!

This is superb! I like the graphic element of the lone surfer in the background silhouetted against the sea. Parabens!

Great shot, the guy seems to be very tiny, I like the water and the surrounding, well shot indeed

Hi Rafael,
Good compo with the surfer being alone in the middle of the beach.
Good light and excellent DOF.

Good picture! I like the man facing all that water. I also like the shapes of the water on the beach on the foreground! Well seen!

A very good shot, Rafa. I like the position of the surfer, and the nice and dry (!) piece of sand in the middle. Colors and light are very soft and pleasant.

Rafael,
Beautiful formations of the waves and the beach. The surfer looks so small and forceless compared to the sea.
Well captured.

Excelente angulo de vista a este belo cenario de praia. Bonita composição com o surfista preparado para começar a "Surfar". Cores naturais, luminosidade e atmosfera reais.

Muito bom!

Very nice Rafael, great point of view and peaceful place, the only thing missing is the sound of the waves that I can only imagine :-) Thanks for sharing.

wow! you've got quite a bird's eye view on this one Rafael. the waves seem to be massive - when i compare it to the size of the surfer.. nice catch

I have just "washed my soul" with your take, now I'm getting ready to surf! Beautiful water game on the beach. Well done!
