Sandy,

I can fully understand why you have so much surf, but would it be possible to have just a little more walke into space?

I did think when I first opened this that the bird was too far over to the left but I think it would not be such a good shot without the surf, I like it :smile:

Comp works for me as I see it as a "run-from" not a "run-into" picture. Willett don't care! :smile:

Nice action, Sandy. I like the breaking wave-it really adds to the image.
