    Sharp and lovely light.Perfect head angle and subject to image sensor orientation. Lots of room, however, for improvement: you need more room below for the virtual feet. Try to make most surfside images when the wavelets are non-exsistent; this would give you a cleaner background. Lastly, are those sand piles or a breaking wave in front of the subject L-R-C? IAC, they are distracting.

    Suggestions for improvement already mentioned. Great warm light, and I like the foot up position.

    Thanks Artie, Daniel and Harold. You all make excellent observations toward a perfect image. The ugly stuff in the foreground is seafoam. I cloned some out on the right but left the rest as it hides the foot that isn't there. Not yet to the point of being able to reconstruct a foot! I felt the amount of foam I left on the bottom gave some balance to the image instead of just leaving the lump where the foot is.
