A good sporting moment - I'd also love to see the rider skidding along water with the tube out of view. Cool!

The desaturation isn't obvious? are we looking at the same photograph? Clown. this is a great shot. Sorry but just completely frustrated with this site and the crap that gets voted high. the desaturation is great. It's a great action shot. A bit tighter would have helped the image.

Desaturating a whole bunch of white foam leaves you with ......... a whole bunch of white looking foam. The desaturation effect isn't very obvious.

great capture. the water spray looks a bit oversharpened, otherwise nice job

Nice action shot, well captured.. and so carefully desaturated that (if not for the bright reflection on the dinghy)..you may just mistake this for a dull day

What do you think, a 10? Ok. :)

Fun action shot - but I don't think the de-sat actually works for this subject: to my eye, the fun of the shot is in the guy's expression, and the spray of the water. The colour in the inflatable puts the subject there, and this creates a conflict which to me doesn't help the shot. 5

nice job. i like it, it works perfectly. If his face was just a little more visible you would have gotten my first 10. So nice will have to do. I love the rope.

Pretty good, only complaints is there is color in the water below the innertube and person. That said, I would like to see just the tube in color, would make more of a statement me thinks.
