agreed... hard to troubleshoot what is wrong because the exif numbers don't make sense, it claims to be heavily cropped at 420mm, at 1/6400th/iso800 f/6... i shot that exact same surf contest at 600mm, 1/2500th/iso500 f/6.3 on the sony a9, there isn't enough light to get anywhere near 1/6400th at iso800 with a 600mm superzoom, even at 420mm, the image would be severely underexposed.

weirdest expression i've ever seen - she see a shark?

vbuhay

No, that expression is just her normal calculating reaction to what she will be doing when the waves hits her board.... which is why she in one of the best professional surfer in the tour... she is a joy to watch.
