too bad you couldn't get the chair out of there, still an awesome capture though!

Hi! Here�s a comment from the Critique Club.

First Impression:
Nice shot. Eye drawn to the dark hair then up to the sun glow, the shore and then back to the person.

Composition:
Centered composition works for this shot. Wide works, but I find the shallow height raising questions. Given the light & shadows, it makes me think you cropped out a bridge. Not very Zen like. I would have liked to have seen a bit more shore between the person and the bottom. They look crowded.
I like the feeling of �space.�

Subject:
Meets challenge

Technical:
Given the Zen topic, I like what you did technically.

Suggestions:
I like the attempt at �space� but more height would have been effective

Summary:
Nice shot and post processing. I think the cropping and the aggressive aspect ratio may have worked against you.

Nice action shot. Not quite fast enough on the shutter speed IMO as the water spray coming up behind him isn't really frozen as the challenge theme requires (no motion blurs, etc...). The chair in the top left is a bummer as it takes away from the subject. Nice blue color in the water. Almost looks like the blue was bumped up some in saturation it's so vivid. Just curious, what's that yellow line in the lower left?

Overall, nice capture. Good luck in the challenge.

nice shot, shame about the chair--that absolutely makes the difference between a good shot and a great shot. it's one thing when you have no control over your backgrounds; it's altogether different when you do...
