Yeah, for sure. Larger would be awesome. It's such an nice shot - but needs size to be appreciated fully.

Thanks Thor. Yeah, the photo loses so much when it's this small. I'll have to remember that. I wish I could post it up on here in a larger format. I mean, come on, Face Book displays their photos larger than this, and they're not even for sale on Facebook?! Who would want to buy a photo they can't see?

Took me a while to notice the surfer... Epic. But yea, paddle in Jaws kind of beats everything. This is a better quality photo by far though.

I was kinda bummed it didn't get photo of the day because it's sooooo freaking small like this?! haha. Oh well. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder, and it's kinda hard to beat someone charging Jaws. I didn't even have to edit this photo at all. I'm so stoked that it came out this crip. The colors are so sick. Here's a link to it on my Face Book page if you want to see it bigger. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=192135010805218&set=a.115922078426512.15373.112581748760545
