"skim surfing" - that's a new term for me, and a good one. Nice take on this, like the colours and the silhouette.

Very nice scene. I like the spot of red of the setting sun, and the textures of the water. The surfer adds the final touch!

The placement of the surfer in the image works to complement the sense of flow created by the surf line, the toning of the image (with just the right touch of red from the setting sun to complete the coloring), and the moody feel that is evoked by the inclusion of the surfer.

Cool photo !(or is that, wet photo)

Excellent shot Ruth, I also love that sky very well done.

Nice one Ruth.

I think it works even better as a vertical comp though, using the surf and the edge of the wet sand as a leading line.

Well, perhaps not completely vertical but I think you get the idea.

Excellent was my first thought.

A great catch. Love the colours and the diagonal surf line.

I know you are a great PS master.Does the surfer know he was there:-)

Thanks for the great compliment, Luka, but if you are asking if I Photoshopped the surfer into the image, no I didn't. He was right there, and nothing was added. If I do more than tonal changes, and maybe cloning out something intrusive, I put it in the Digital Manipulation category.

Everything just so, including the upraised arms of the surfer. Skim surfing is a new one to me as well. Great shot!

All to like - composition, colors, the shadow, the splash on both sides... Good timing, indeed.

Nicely timed shot puts the surfer in the strongest position.
