A "wake-boarder" who was competent enough to send up showers of spray on each turn.

Well captured, and love the wide format. I prefered the original version - this seem to be cropped too much at the bottom. Neil

I guess I was about 20 feet away. I mainly had to crop the bottom because of the float I mentioned. The full image has *lots* of spray. I did manage to get a few good images, but this one fit this challenge best. Phil

Very cool! How far from the subject were you (and how much did you have to crop?) -Ed Hahn

I really like the 3:1 panoramic cropping/framing here. What an interesting composition though. It makes me wander between the power of gushing water and the model's expression of concentration on the game. Overall very nicley done!

Victor has very sharp vision, I really didn't notice the hue of blue at the bottom left corner.

I like it except for the blue glow at the bottom. Is that the edge of a boat? -- Victor
