Taken at Merimbula Main Beach at the annual Mambo kite surfing classic - no waves and pretty light winds so the best action was guys changing direction.
I like the centered composition but I'm sure that some commenter will rant on about rule of thirds - but really if it looks good it is good - and I think this looks good.

Great action shot, but I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't have looked better & met the challenge more head-on if it had been shot dutch. Maybe lower ISO & even higher shutter (plus opening the aperture a bit, of course) could have boosted the crispness, too? I'm pretty much a newbie here, though, so take my comments with a grain of salt - just 'cause I'm being critical doesn't mean I think MY stuff is doing any better! You likely will do better than my submission... Good luck!
