Had a good sunny day today, with the on-shore wind being favourable as well, bringing the surfers closer to the breakwater, thus making it easier to get reasonable pix of them as they take a wave. Unfortunately photographically the waves were breaking away from the camera position, so the surfers oflen turned away from the camera position.
Anyway - here's a few for your pleasure & comment
Typical Exif ... Panny FZ-200; 1/1600s x F4 to F7; EV -0,7; ISO-100, lens at 20x zoom [about 550mm FF equiv]
a)
b)
c)
d) - what do you think about this one - shooting into the sun and getting almost a 'high-key' effect?
As always, feedback welcome

The 3rd shot is the most of the appealing to me. I like the silhouette and the action.
I agree with you that the 3rd picture is the most appealing. Because here you have lift your compositional game. As far as I concerned, such a significant number of surf photographers placing their subject band in the middle. I'm speculating that they are just focused around the surfer and not giving an idea to an intriguing composition. . This makes exhausting photographs. A couple of things can be handily done to lift your compositional game when shooting from the sea shore with surf activity. With surf photographs, I like to position the surfer surfing into the edge from either the left-or right-hand side so the viewers can perceive what lies before them. This better recounts to the story and gives the watcher a sign of what lays ahead for the rider.
