This photo was taken at a round of the QLD point score Titles, at the Susan River Homestead.
400 hp A class v8 jet boat that can go from 0-140 in 3 seconds, and had just qualified for the top ten shoot out for the day. The course is over a designed layout that has 12 turns from start to finish about ¾ klm in length. When I left they were setting times of 34sec.

Terrific stopped action. The composition is also very nice. This could have been top ten material with some slight color tweaks (though I don't know how to go about it). I also like the comp of the original too!
You did a great job of capturing the action. I love the white(brown)water and the way the boat is coming straight on. The foliage on the left is a minor distraction. Good one!
Great bit of color & action... looks like a ton of fun... but that water looks like something I WOUYLD NOT like to end up in... Was is in a shallow river with a lot of mud that got stirred up?
