The wave kiss (Page 5): Excellent shot Brent, as always. This is very pretty indeed. I can see why you called it "the wave kiss."...

DragonsLady, you are most kind. To be considered an "amazing photographer" from you is the best I could ever want. Thank you very much. You are right about the two factors: 1. skill (lots of practice) and 2. luck......but being at the right place at the right time helps! Thanks again DragonsLady.

Luck had very little to go with it..Someone once said that luck happes when opportunity meets preparation.

RRS Loc: Not sure

Brent, That's some shooting. The color, composition and timing are all first class! It looks like you could kiss your day job good-bye. I'll bet you have been doing this for some time. Now if you were to tell me that it is you surfing and all these shots were selfies I have to say that you are also good at PS because I can't even see the stick. Hey, these are great and we, my wife and I, are looking forward to seeing more when ever you can post. Thanks for sharing, surfing photography is something that I have never tried.

Absolutely stupendous shots, the first two with the grey green of the water and the white of the foam are particularly striking. I think these are probably some of the best ones you have done that I have seen. Wall hangers, keep them coming.
