Quite a nice sporting shot posted here! Your fine composition captures a good in flight action moment. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely taken!

You composed this very well and your timing was perfect to capture this person parasailing in the perfect position in the frame! Very well done!

I can't say that I have ever wanted to go parasailing before, I guess it would just depend on the situation I guess. This is an interesting shot though. I like how it focuses in on the person parasailing. I also like the dunes in the foreground with the ocean in the back. You did a great job. I would love to be walking along here right now. Thanks for sharing. :)

Comment from Linda Engel
WOW this looks like fun and it is a great place to land. Terrific depth as we can view over the sand dunes to far out to the water. I love the balance of the dunes and the water. It gives balance to the photo. Very nice natural lighting and good focus. I don't think I'm brave enough to sky drive.

Comment from Envision
The history of the dune is interesting and the parasailing looks fun. I like how their sail is orange which compliments the colors of the dune! The curves in the landscape are attractive and the water looks good.

I took hang gliding lessons some 50 years ago. All three instructors were wearing casts. Things have come a long ways since then. A beautiful composition that captures a bit of the thrill of being airborne.

Nice catch of the flyer sailing away. You were amazingly able to get his sail in a level position to the islands in the background. It is intriguing that your description is all about the dune, while the picture is really of the flyer. The people below seem to be totally not involved. I would suggest possibly working on the contrast and color slightly just to bring out some of the depth and detail. The image seems somewhat flat. Nice shot. Thank you for sharing. Hope you are able to stay away from all of the protests.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the Dune du Pilat, the tallest dune in Europe south of Bordeaux in the department of Gironde with a Para Glider who has just taken off from the dune sailing in the direction of the sandy beach & the sea in the Bay of Biscay. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Love the style in this one, the background works well to make the main compostion pop. Almost at first looks like a rainbow in the background but I like it because makes the viewer investigate further. Love the expression and colours work so well contrasting nicely with each other.thanks for sharing Well done
