my first try at HDR. Can't say that i really like it.

I may not even have done it right. Made from a single image processed with RAW converter into three differently "exposed" files. One exposed for the sea, one for the sky and one for the bird.

I find this very, very clever! A good eye and instinct to capture it...

Beautiful juxtaposition and I think the subdued tones are a good choice - gives a certain sense of wistfulness to the image.

A beautifully serene image with lovely muted colours, a beautiful composition full of loose horizontals punctuated with the bird and the person on the same vertical line... just lovely.

Good catch (not just of wind by your subjects that is)

Nice image, subtle and unusual. Difficult for this Challenge as I'd like it to be all about the bird - but that's just me. Having said that, the bird makes this image.

Nice composition, though it is a bit odd with the kite strings removed.

Sweet shot! I like how the bird is not the first thing you see, but becomes the focus of the photograph after a moment. The art of sailing depicted in two different forms.

The bird is not very sharp. Good job on ballancing the exposues though.

It does look like the bird is just surfing the breeze. Bird's a little small in the frame for major impact, but I do like this.

Nice DOF to separate the bird from the background, nice comparison between the gull and the surfer.

I like this alot. Cool color tones, nice general composition and patterns, the guy in the water ties it all together well. Makes for a complete image. Bumping up to 9.
