Now, I know you critics out there are going to say, boy this image is soft. But consider the conditions under which this was taken.


A900 w/ Tamron 70-200 @ 200mm, f/2.3, ISO-400, 1/1000 second

Taken through dirty, tinted, train window with train moving at about 55-65 mph and surfer about 200 yds away. All considered, not bad ... other than the fact I had to work that day and would much rather have been on that beach having to "endure" the "hardship" of photographing surfers.

That f2.3 zoom was just toooo heavy for ya!

Fixed background.

nicely done. although you lost the rich yellowy/ gold somehow in the second image. the yellow in the adjusted version looks quite muted and flat.

I should have done this with layers. Then I could have brought back the bright yellow. I always work without thinking. I tried a few different edits but I didn't post them all here. They are on my Flickr site.

Thanks

It may not be the same image.
