Sorry for the potential "overkill" but I'm having way to much fun with the "oil painting" filter and going to the next level by adding and enhancing color and depth. Which one of these three different cropping options do you prefer? PS, I hope you like what I did with my surfing image and the oil painting filter.
#1 for me, having him 1/3 in from the right makes it just right. I love the defect. Do you if this effect has another name other than oil painting?

#1- The Surfer & the Wave & the Curl all stand out. The picture is about "Action".---#3 U see the calm water & U know it is all going to end.--- I like how the Horizon is blocked out in #2, & the concentration on the face & balance in the arms.--- #1 is my favorite thou.

I like #3, it seems to be easier on the eyes and shows less distortion that the surfer in #2.

These are all really cool but I think personally I like number 2 the best.

I like #2. I think it personal preference. But out of #1 and #3, I like #1 better.

Number one for me, the composition is just right for all the action.
I was asked in a PM about my personal favorite and I had to agree with you. It seems that there are more votes for that cropping choice than any other one. Thanks for responding Leicaflex!

#3 wins it...very nice shot.
Ohhhhh Bret, you like the foam at the bottom and don't think it's distracting? Ok, you and two others so far like that one. There is NO wrong answer.....it's all personal preference! We all win!

Brent , I like the first one the best, I kinda can get a sensation of the power of the wave in the first one, my second choice is number three
I'm agreeing with you about #1. Speaking of "power" ......the surfer was moving from right to left in this photo and had so much power and speed that his trail went across the top of the wave and then he turned when I shot this image, that is why he has a rooster tail splashing from his turn. The trail on the right top of the wave was a combination of the wave and his trail.

#3 for a wall, #2 for an album, book or magazine.
You cropped out the very top of the splash in #1, and I find that my eye follows the line of the splash and wants to go all the way out to the end. I also think that in #1 the wave has a luminosity that's slightly lacking in #3, but I think that the subject suits the extra space that #3 has.

HI R.G., you mentioned "luminosity"......I wanted to show you and the other UHH members what the original photo that I took, looked like. The luminosity is even more powerful in the original. I wanted to POP the wave and added shadows under the lip at the sacrifice of not having the luminosity so much.
