Hi Sam, I found this one very good. It's so difficult to shoot the rider with the sail, and you did it. Your point of view is original, i like it.

Congratulation.

Loic, thanks very much for your appreciaton & comments. I was standing on top of a dune at about 15 metres above sea level. That helps already to get the entire picture of man & kite. It remains difficult to foresee (for me at least) when he'll jump. Given the time delay a digital camera causes between pushing the shutter button & the actual shooting, it's a small miracle I got this sort of right. Five other times I was too late or too early. This photo is a crop of a much larger one. It helps to use an 8 megapixel camera, which allows for crops which are still of reasonably good detail. Cheers, Sam.
