Great action capture, Justin. Nicely done! Helen

Thanks Deb, Bev, and MFC. Yeah, this guy stayed on afterwards. He was doing pretty well at staying on after all his jumps...watching and photographing him for about 20 minutes, I only saw him wipe out once. This was probably the best out of about 20 photos...most of which I would either catch him just before he got airborne or just after...or too much spray would be covering him up. I cropped this about 20% all around, then cropped it a bit more off the top for a wide look...I thought it worked better for the spray without so much sky. Shot with 1.7x teleextender.

Justin, it certainly does appear that this jet ski is taking off into airspace from its watery world. Nice stop-action catch of this scene. Good clarity and depth of color too. Nice shot. MFC

You certainly caught the flying action, Justin..As Deb mentioned, I always marvel that people manage to stay on these machines. Nice capture of the spray, also. Bev

Justin, what a superb flying action image. The lighting and clarity are execellent. I trust this fellow was still aboard after this shot was taken?---Deb
