Nice shot. I like the way the spray defines the driver and separates him from the background. Imo the image could be improved by rotating a few degrees to level the water and shoreline. 8pts

he's ugly

High marks for the great action and superb exposure and colors. Would have bumped it to the top except for the tilted horizon and the composition being too tight and missing part of the rooster tail.

a bit more cropped - if you could - off the right side.. just a bit, and from the top too..
great clarity.. great action! nice work!

Horizon looks like its running downhill right to left. Subject looks like he's having a blast and the picture aside from the horizon thing is very good.

An excellent action shot. You've frozen the water which really emphasises the speed aspect. A very good submission - 8.

Needs alot less background, the biker is nicly framed against the spray. Also, rotate it about 5 degrees ac.

nice shot. could use some contrast/saturation to bring out the colors more.

Nice job, this is the idea that came to me when I thought about this challenge. Didn't know where to find a jet-ski though. I like how the image is tilted too. It creates a sort of wedge with the surf spray.

A bit too much lens distortion. Nice capture though. [5]

great shot that works very well

Pretty shot. Top needs to be cropped down. Too much void area. The color and light here are really nice.

great capture, framed nicely.

great shot....love the spray
07/02/2003 08:49:26 AM
I t would have been better to have been closer to the action

Now that's a big splash. Your horizon seems to be tilted a bit. I'm not sure if you wanted it that way or not, but an editing program can fix that easily. Still a great clear picture though. Good one. =) (7)

This show demonstrates speed well and at the same time is nicely composed and exposed (except the trees which are perhaps a little dark). The horizon being unlevel is slightly distracting and should probably have been rotated if possible.

Very cool manuever! The horizon seems a bit tilted.

Nice Capture. The Horizon is a little screwy.
