Been putting together a collection of my favorite images to start submitting to people (not sure who yet) to show off the best of my work, this is one that I captured during one of the bigger swells of ‘08 back in July.
I’d love your thoughts (please don’t hesitate to be critical) on this image! Thanks heaps, Paul!

The image of the surfer all the way upside down in the air really captures the joyful nature of surfing; the sense of being like a dolphin leaping for the fun of it. The shades of blue & green in the layers of curling waves are beautiful too – I can’t stand up off my knees on a board but it makes me want to go plunging into the water!

thanks heaps for your comment – really appreciated – i try to capture more than just a person on a wave in my shots, rather capture the moment and the feeling of being in this magic environment. cheers Paul
