So, so awesome. I love the point of view! Looking at this image I get the feeling I'm sweeping across the ocean - flying. Glorious!

I like how the photograph is stretchedlike that. It makes it feel like they are farther out then they actually are.

Beautiful shot. Love the distorted perspective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Awesome. A rare case when you only notice the tilted horizon after the first impression is made. I wish the sky wasn't blown, though. 8

wow! love the dynamics you've captured here. it must have cost a fortune, what you had to pay to get that sky ordered up and delivered ;-)

Dramatic! The tilt really helped here...

Great capture with all lines and elements leading to the subject. Tilted horizon is very effective too.

'Hoping that this will do well in this challenge.

Very nice shot and I like the diagonal perspective. Back to bump you up to 8.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2007 02:15:58 PM
I quite like the sense of motion, of action. This is one of those times where a tilted horizon suits the shot quite well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2007 12:26:46 PM
nice use of angles

You may gets some knocks for the slant....but i like it....it gives the pic some energy....well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Awesome shot! The wide angle and tilted horizon add to this intriguing composition where the water seems to be streaming along with the sky while the boys appear to be on an adventure. Very cool!

National Geographic worthy! 10!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice use of wide angle !
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2007 04:43:31 PM
Good colour and exposure. Nice sense of motion from the clouds. The water on the left mimics the clouds to provide balance.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2007 03:09:34 PM
I really like the movement you have captured in the water and the way the clouds kind of match that movement :o)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2007 11:54:41 AM
Dynamic! The clouds, ripples in the water and the boat point to the horizon -the diagonal helps to emphasize that. I wish there were more detail in the shadows. 7

01/14/2007 06:35:11 AM
wow...awesome wide angle...amazing light...I love the skewed horizon
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/14/2007 12:00:57 AM
Dizzying almost, with that radial blur. The lighting is also very striking. All the elements add up for a very dramatic effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/13/2007 08:20:25 PM
cool, very National Geographic looking.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/13/2007 05:21:50 PM
interesting angle, without it this is a shot without great interest. 8

Superb. This is all about lines and they're all in the right place! Love the angle, it gives the shot energy.
