Nice shot. I like the way the spray defines the driver and separates him from the background. Imo the image could be improved by rotating a few degrees to level the water and shoreline. 8pts
High marks for the great action and superb exposure and colors. Would have bumped it to the top except for the tilted horizon and the composition being too tight and missing part of the rooster tail.
Horizon looks like its running downhill right to left. Subject looks like he's having a blast and the picture aside from the horizon thing is very good.
Nice job, this is the idea that came to me when I thought about this challenge. Didn't know where to find a jet-ski though. I like how the image is tilted too. It creates a sort of wedge with the surf spray.
Now that's a big splash. Your horizon seems to be tilted a bit. I'm not sure if you wanted it that way or not, but an editing program can fix that easily. Still a great clear picture though. Good one. =) (7)
This show demonstrates speed well and at the same time is nicely composed and exposed (except the trees which are perhaps a little dark). The horizon being unlevel is slightly distracting and should probably have been rotated if possible.
