Early Morning Wake

I was wondering whether it would be better to have used the flash to

see the details of the "wake boarder" or not.

 

Also, I have the feeling the boarder is too central - probably not

the best crop, but then I wanted to keep the sun rays on the left.

 

Any comments from enlightnend photographers are welcome!

I think I'd have cropped it quite a lot tighter to put the boarder in the right half of the frame.

Maybe the smallest hint of fill flash would have helped bring the subject out from the background of the coast but it would be easy to overdo it and spoil what is fundamentally a nice shot.

Nice action shot, especially with the backlighting effect.

Would have been really cool if the waterskier was jumping into the clouds, Now he somewhat merges with the dark background

if the man had jumped higher u would have been able to shot him over a wonderful sky.

the black ribbon deletes half the body, removing sense of motion from the picture.

maybe a fill flash would have helped, maybe u could have asked the boat driver to move so that u can gain a better background.

 

nice pic anyway

Water line is crooked. Should be cropped some.

An amazing shot Blaise. Well done. I don't usually like fooling around with other people's photos, but I must say that John's cropping above is also a succesful rendering of this image.

Boy if you could catch this one with the light on the skiers front side or flash it, this could be a 7. Great sky.

I like this image...

For a waterski photograph it is very different.

I like how it, and would not crop it. Nor would I post a cropped version in my critque.

Some fill flash would be nice, but this image works well as it is.
