Ash Loyal Site Supporter	Taking Flight on the Surf Critique on the shot was spot on regarding the unrecoverable details on the whitewash and less favourable pose of the surfer not being able to see his face. The original does have most of the highlight detail, and this was a tall order given the direct sunlight and high contrast between bright whites and shadow details of the subject. Nevertheless, I appreciate the input and agree, but thankful for the acceptance into PEG.

rayallen Site Supporter	Taking Flight on the Surf I really like how you have caught the surfer at the very peak of the action. Well done, Ash.

FrancisK7 Veteran Member	Taking Flight on the Surf I can't believe this was taken with the 70-200. How much sharpening did you apply in PP? Very good shot!

Ash Loyal Site Supporter	Taking Flight on the Surf Minimal sharpening -> basic settings on Photoshop. Selective colouring to deepen the blues and boost the highlights. Skin tones were also enriched. That's about it. It was shot with the 55-300 (at 200mm)
