Sorry Brent, I'd like to be a little more positive but the only ones I like are #'s 1-3, 4,5 & 6, 7 - 9 and 10. Sorry.
So, are you saying that #2 and #8 didn't float your boat?!?!?
I do appreciate the kind words about the other 8 photos!

Liked your spin offs Brent, I like to work in post too. #2 and 9 held my interest the longest, but enjoyed them all. Bev
Thank you Bev. #2 is a mock HDR. The composition is a tried and true winner that I just copied from all the other photographers before me that have done the same thing.

Last one is my favorite
Thanks Diocletian, that last one I got lucky with. If you shoot enough photos, you are bound to get lucky sometimes!

The VW van shot is epic, the clean waves are really good, and the plus size babes is good, with or without the color splash effect. I often think you over sharpen your surf shots, and the underside of the pier in hdr looks like hdr. Maybe do it hdr and don't tone map. That's what I do in my Real Estate Photography business. Hope all is well in SoCal. Driving out on Jan 17 -21. Can't wait to get in the water and drink a few beers at Left Coast Taproom. Aloha and Mahalo, Steve
Mahalo Steve, I hope all is well out there in St. George. Time to sit in your spa and warm up eh?
Are you going surfing when you come to So Cal?
Thanks for the positive comments. I do like the "look" of the over sharpened photos........so I guess I am guilty of that. Same for the HDR too! Guilty! lol

Your rear end shot of the 5 beach-goers is absolutely terrific. I love the paint spots. I think it has great potential as stock.
I can see it as a postcard from any beach location in the country. >Alan

Thanks Alan, I think that photo is getting more comments than any of the others! There was a pro photographer taking photos of them for a calendar (my guess).

Absolutely stunning. Every time I look at your surfing pictures I can almost smell the ocean. I love the colors you've captured in these!
Thanks a ton Jim! I appreciate your nice comments.

They are all great as usual but 2 and eight really get me this time. Had a '59, 36 hp, VW bug once, it was a good car tough on the hills. 
36 HP is not going to get you up the hills to quickly! lol Thanks for liking #2 and # 8.

No Brent, I think you missed my attempt at humor and a compliment (it happens with my wife too). I said that the only ones I liked are numbers one THROUGH three (which includes two), four, five, six, seven through nine (which includes eight) and ten. In essence ALL ten. Anyway...great shots.
