Stepping Into Liquid, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

In a hot day, this man decided to step into liquid. This photo was taken from the pier of Huntington Beach. The waves are pretty fast at this spot. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Kiet,
this is an awsome photo... I love the angle of how you shot the picture... it seems that you were on a pier of some kind. And it looks like the surfer is in the middle of doing a "floater", since there is so much white wash all around him. It's a great close up from above. You don't even see this kind of angle too much in Surf magazines, atleast the ones i've looked at. Great job.

The only thing I think is missing, is some information about where you took this photo... such as the surf spot of Huntington Beach or the street name that leads to this section of Huntington Beach. But maybe I'm just thinking like a surfer... sorry :).
Keep up the great work,
Lin

Hi Kiet,
great picture you have here! i really like this shot. makes me feel like going to surf as well... maybe it's a little soft and you could have applied an unsharp mask to enhance it slightly.
again, very nice shot.
cheers,
Martin

This is a superb image. You have captured a wonderful moment. I love the surfer's pose and all the white water surrounding him. Well done.

A excellent well composed shot captured at the exact moment. Great shot!

This is a great action shot and excellent pov. You've got the sharpness too. I think your note is self explanatory. HB pier is a great place to get shots like these if you get the luck of weather, surfers and viewpoint spot. TFS!
