I'd love to hear your opinions on this photo. It was shot with a Nikon D850 with a 600mm f/4 at ISO 200 and 1/1250 sec at f/4 I like it. I considered different white balance settings and adjusted exposure slightly and cropped in tight for interest.
Nice. For me I'd like a bit more Contrast and Darker in the Low Tones; i.e., Less Exposure except in the Whites and Highlights, those are fine. Composition is cool cropped in like that, but I might like to see your entire original 2:3 frame. All doable with Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.
Nice catch and that's all I care about . Processing is something I can't really do yet and so I focus on the visual attraction an image projects instead. Nice Work sir.
Being able to capture "that moment" is exciting. Thanks for sharing.
Here's the orginal with a bit more contrast. :)
God I love that 600mm f/4 lol
Yes a Nikon 600mm f/4 AFS VII I had headaches with all the Sigma glass I tried so sold both the Contemporary and Sport and purchased the 600mm after trying the 200-500 f/5.6.. that extra stop of light and the mushy bokeh was what sold me.
Very good action shot, Stephen.
As a surfer, I love it when my friends get cool shots of me.
I would want the shot to include the full spray to the right of the subject - it's what really defines the power of the turn.

Or like this for example? I have been cropping them close. Perhaps I need to rethink the composition.

I would consider not cropping as tight on the left side of the image.
Surfer is looking that way, give him a little more in the image to look over there.

I am new to photography world, so I apologize for my ignorance. What software and computer do you need for this?.
Agreed but unfortunately I hadn't lead the surfer enough. It's difficult to maintain focus on while surfers are constantly moving I think I need to try to keep the surfer in the center of the frame to maintain that sharp focus. Moving the focus point with the camera's back joystick while attempting to shoot and move that large lens is not easy. :)

I use minimum of three products for my workflow. I use Nikon Transfer 2 to move the files off my camera
Adobe Lightroom CC Classic and Adobe Photoshop for printing or editing out unwanted elements or adjusting white balance, and exposure to parts of the photo.
There are others I use including Topaz AI Clear, Topaz Gigapixal AI and Topaz DeNoise AI and for Portraits I occasionally use PortraitPro Studio 18.
