A good quality photograph with an interesting subject, however to depict the subject "wind" maybe a little motion blur to show the windsurfer being buffeted by the wind...
I like this one! nice, crisp image of the sail, perfect for the challenge. The only thing I could come up with as a constructive criticism is:
- tighter crop - removing the wave at the bottom would draw more attention (all the attention) to the surfer.
- playing with levels and hue to make the gray sky color livelier.
As is - 9.
Good capture. The artistic presentation and relevance to challenge theme is quite good. Love the skip on the water surface. Gives a sense of speed. Now, technically this is quite adequate. Only suggestion would be to go a little easier on the noise reduction. There is a subtle but distinct loss of fine detail in the spray and particularly in the distant hills.
