 The person in this photo was helping a windsurfer secure their sail to pack at the end of a day of wind surfing and I just happened to be in the right place... hope it does well.


Well, I am very pleased with getting two favs for this shot... I am a little surprised it didn't reach the 6 mark... but such is DP ... thanks to all who made comments.. very appreciated!

Very nice catch. I love framing like this. You really caught a special moment. Warm tones, fun shapes, and people interracting = one splendid photo.

I'm with SandyP. You wuz robbed. I love the perfect crescent framing the sun. The translucence makes a welcome change from the plain, black silhouettes.

Dang! How in the WORLD did this end up in 52nd place with a sub-6 score! I really hate it when an exquisite photo like this gets robbed of the score it deserves! It is stunning!

Very good! The right part of the image seems a bit empty though.

Awesome shot. I can't decide if I like the composition. It feels like there should be space on the left instead of the right.

Someone's got to put the moon away at the end of the night... This is a beautiful picture.

This would have been an incredible shot if you could have captured the full body in silhouette. Nice lighting, and I like the pattern on the sail. The "banding" in the sky (visible edges instead of a smooth transition from one tone to another) detracts from the shot.

Reminds me of the sun and moon next to each other. Creative!
