Thrill of flight

This guy is indeed in flight, and your stop action is just perfect. Of course it is great to see acrobatics like this, but I am especially impressed about how well you have captured the big foamy wave. I also like that the background is soft, because this makes the wave and the man on the sailing board to standout really well.

The photo is very sharp and it is truly clear and well defined details to be seen all over. The red colors are crisp and clear, and the exposure is spot on.

I also like the format you have cropped the photo into, and I think it is a fine balance in the composition. I think this is a great looking and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

What a wonderful photographical piece. Love the splash of the waves/waters as the plane takes off. Really nice foreground, nice middle ground, and sky. The back hills against the sky are ok, although I do like the splashes against them or shadows of blue, whichever it is. Would make a nice painting also, I think, as well.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition captures us an enjoyable view of the action taking place out there. Is it taking off or landing? Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

This capture is captivating. The skate board and its passenger seem suspended in the air. The splashing waves seem frozen. The stop-in-action is perfect. Your capture shows the danger and the excitement of this sport. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The action photo is well composed and framed. The skate-border has a good placement within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Wow, what a special shot presentation in a very unusual second as it looks like he will fall into the water, but I guess he landed perfectly - your close up and frame choice created a wonderful harmonious presentation -
This position is very attractive - your sharpness is fantastic, the contrast is excellent letting all details come out in perfection
A special picture taken at the perfect moment with the best reaction - fantastic result

A well timed shot that is nicely composed. I like the colors and the fine exposure for all that white water. Excellent detail in the airborne surfer. Best of luck in the contest.
