the thumb doesn't do this justice. at first glance it seems a little washed out, but once i see the full image it really grabs me. the sharpness is excellent which makes it even more impressive that you froze the action as well as you did, given that you must have used a very small aperature. makes me wanna go play in the ocean :)
Heck, I'm handing out a lot of good scores in this challenge. This one gets a 10. Good and sharp, well composed. I particularly like the way that the sky still retains a little colour and texture.
I love this photo. There's so many things about it that are awesome: the subject of course, the sharpness, the vibrant colors. The perfect fit for the challenge. I just love everything about it. 10
