Surfing IN the Wave!

Taffy @taffy and I had a fabulous photowalk with Joe @thirdjoe and Elizabeth @redy4et and we got so many great photos that it'll take a while to get them processed, but here's one I knew immediately I wanted to share.

Thanks to feedback with suggestions, I present a second version at: http://365project.org/jyokota/challenges-and/2015-12-03

Good choice! We're both working on photos at the moment, it's clear. It is hard to choose, but this is one of my favorites of yours. Fav!

[Daryl O'Hare]

That is a money shot if I ever saw one. Bravo, and I'm jealous. Of course, during my surfing lesson, I looked just like this (NOT). :) FAV

[Daryl O'Hare]

Oh and great on black!

[Graeme Stevens]

superb action shot

[Pam Knowler]

Wonderful action shot! It looks like you are surfing with him! Such a great pov! Fav!

[Iris]

very cool! Love the light through the water, and, of course, the action!!
You guys seem to have lots of fun photo-get-togethers

[John Falconer]

Great capture.

[Jo]

Awesome action capture.

[Elizabeth]

The blue-green water of the wave is eye-catching! Great action shot!

[Sylvia du Toit]

Well done. Beautiful scene.

[Richard Sayer]

I love the translucency of that wave... it almost looks as if it is backlit - this one's a Fav for me.

[Joe III]

Junko, when you showed me this shot after you took it while we were on the pier, I knew it looked great. Seeing it now, it looks even better than I imagined! Immediate Fav!

[Pat Knowles]

Beautifully caught....such a great action shot & a pretty photo too!

[Vera]

Beautiful glow in that wave! It looks like a giant jewell.

[Anna]

That's great! Love that green water. Perfect timing.

[Joan Robillard]

You have captured the power of the wave and the struggle to hang on for the surfer,

[Rachel]

Excellent timing!

[Rosie Kerr]

Oh, super shot. Wonderful timing, catching this guy working the curl. The light in the water is so delightful. Fav. For your own album, I would be curious how you feel about a tighter crop, just around the surfer, the curl and the water in front, leaving out the top parts. Jealous... I would LOVE to shoot surfers! :)

[Richard Hickey]

Stunning picture and perspective. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[Jane Pittenger]

Wonderful color and texture to the wave and fabulous sense of movement

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

I can see this being a fav of surfing fans! Nicely composed!

[Terri Morris]

Great timing on this shot.

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Amazing capture and clarity. FAV

[Nova]

Fabulous capture! Love the curve of the wave the colours in the water and the movement in the image that your surfer creates. You have a great vantage point for this shot. :)
