Hi all,


I'm wondering what you guys think of these two pictures of surfers walking into the ocean. Specifically:


a) which do you like better with regard to composition? I like how in the first one there is space in the direction they are walking, but i wish surfer #2 was forward a step or two and surfer #3 (barely pictured) was a step or 2 back. Unfortunately I didn't know these people so they probably thought it weird enough that I was photographing them, let alone if I started directing them. []


b) are they properly exposed? I'm thinking they could have benefited from maybe 1/3 stop less light, to make the sky more vivid and the surfers more silhouetted. would you agree?
