A fine shot with an odd background to see behind a kite surfer. Since we don't see the water our imagination is free to roam as to what is actually going on. Excellent focus on the surfer and fine depth of field.

Great Capture - excellent close up , super clear and sharp , you again found the perfect title - the stunning thing is that it seems so easily like sitting on a ski life and relax while it is a great jump - your different perspective is interesting as we look into the direction like he dos
excellent framing, your picture is well balanced, and well composed, thanks for sharing

toda raba,
he wanted to see behind the mountains, not posing for the camera

Comment from Harlan_Photography
Great shot. I love the action in it and that you captured the subject in mid air. Looks like lots of fun. Great location as well.

Fred,
A great stop action picture of this NOT so young Kite Surfer (he has a bald patch) high above you brought close by your telephoto lens to make our spines chill as he looks over the mountains on the far shore. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

merci Suzanne;
I have a front view: he must be around 40

Comment from Bethann66
Kite surfing looks like fun, but also kind of terrifying. It does look as if this person might sail right over the mountain! Nice action shot!

Thanks for sharing.

yes, he tried; lol; I wanted to write another title but it was much too long: "is there water behind the mountain where I can land?"
many thanks again;

This is an interesting action shot! You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Wow...another stunning action photograph of yours. White Cloudy sky is just perfect for the surfer in black. Although faceless, expression is well told by angle and gesture.

Well done and thanks for sharing.
