Well there goes that bar. :shock:

I’m with Norfy, like the intensity of #5. Still hard to beat a quality B&W image.

Where is this cyclone swell? I need some more of what we got last month.
Nice work max - I love your pulled out frames at long focal lengths. Much more interesting contrast to the tightly framed action we always see in the mag

Nice work. Those are some bloody good photos alright :!: Great turn in #2. Did the fisho survive or did he add to the statistics :?:

It's hard to pick the best and I agree with all of the above favourable comments.

However my vote goes to #9. It gives a sense of perspective and place compared to the majority of surf photos that fill the frame with the surfer - this may be the point that "bastardos" was making.

I hope the bodyboarder who published the set of water photos last week looks at and learns from your display - make every photo different and only show a small selection of the best ones. I'm sure that despite the good quality of your display there were many other photos "left on the cutting room floor".

PS: What's that in the sky above #13 (no superman jokes please).
