Taken recently down near Stanley Tops. Curiously, they look a lot sharper in PhotoShop.

Matt, that first one has alot of potential I reckon, its a tidy composition with plenty of interest, its just a shame the surfer dude in the foreground is a bit OOF, i reckon you could tweak the sharpness to get some more out of him.

I seem to be having a problem with the quality of these when they get transfered to Pbase. They lose contrast and sharpness and to the point where there is a 25% quality loss. Something for me to look into. The originals are sharp and snappy and look great on my monitor before posting.

Nice, I like the third one best but would consider cropping out the back ground I.E. the beach and rocks.
Made me think of a super hero in action!!!

I like the third shot and think the crop is good because the beach adds context and you get the full effect of the spray from the wave. Love the contrast and the fact there is till detail in the shadows.

Forum resize perhaps - I notice these are 800 pixels wide (the originals) - try outputing them from photoshop at 775 pixels wide instead.

this with your 300 Ais Matt?

I agree. Also try slightly oversharpened version for this site to counteract the softening effect.
