Beautiful. Love her pensive look. You have done very well in calling her out from a fairly busy scene.

Lovely lovely light.
The DOF is great.

I like this portrait as the surfboard and setting really put things into context and say something about the subject

I love her concentration here, she's so intent on watching what's going on. I'm surpized though that this is on the east coast. Her hair makes her look Californian. Congrats on being blogged and having an admin's choice photo.

Great portrait! The fins/keel (?)(sorry, but I've never surfed - I don't know what those things are called ;-)) and her head and shoulder makes a beautiful circle - and her vertical arm points us directly to the face. Together with the DoF and light - it makes a fantastic composition! Congratulations on being blogged! Well done!
