Now, here is one of the most creative takes on this challenge. Should have ended a top ten.

This is really nice, Van. It does form a good triangle. All through the challenge I wondered who did this one and how it would do in the scoring! Congratulations on your high score, it is well deserved!

Thanks for the comments. I was at the ribbon cutting for the new kayak course and was just shooting some of the kayakers. Later saw the triangle, wasn't shooting for a triangle, just popped into my eye.

Great action shot capture and the best "triangle" in the challenge. This should be in the running for a ribbon. Kudos for such a great image.

For purposes of printing after this basic challenge is over I'd recommend applying a little burning in of the white water to bring out more detail. 10-20% would be about right. It is slightly overexposed. I'd also recommend dodging to the tune of about 10% on the kyaker in the shaded area. I'd further suggest you do that on a 50% greyscale layer rather than directly on the image layer itself. Dodge and burn is much more natural when done that way.

A dynamic triangle and I hope other voters appreciate it.

Ah, this must be pushed for being a triangle.

what an exciting shot! How many times did it take for you to get just the right anlge to make a triangle? As a newbie, I must say your persistence is very encouraging.

Brilliant! This is very diffuclt photo to succeed, everything is there except the light, it's too dark for me.

Very nice capture. Love the color. If there had been a hair more light on the face, I'd have given it a 10. As it stands, it's a 9.

the triangle doesn't seem obvious enough, and overall it's kinda dark.

Many fail in their attempt to do triangles like these, congradulations on not meeting the same fate.
