Thanks for your comments.

What an amazing capture , WOW

nice photography..good timing.

Awesome,are these taken from a boat in the channel or land?

Excellent capture. Love your portfolio too!

I shot these from my friend's boat in the channel. Someone gave me 3's for this shot? Nice. Almost the same shot by a press guy was above the fold on the front page of the SF Chronicle.

Chanses are that the guy that gave you 3s has no images on this sight. Don't let it get to you, you know your good, that's what counts.

I know I am ok. I have tons of room to improve. I just felt like venting about the 3's. It seems every time I post something one person gives me 3's. It's like I have a stalker or something. Ok.. done venting. Thanks.

Chuck: Do not worry about ratings. This is an outstanding photo. Yet I think you need to adjust it's levels a bit.

I saw them. I was there the week before and you captured one of them so well. I understand the feelings about 3's I go through them so much myself. Not to worry your work speaks for itself.

 

Great shot, Well done.

Outstanding capture! I would suggest cloning out the froth in the foreground. And... don't feel as if you have a stalker... 3's are common. Most of the issuers of 3's either has no photos posted or used to only receiving low scores themselves because of lack of talent...

 

Grand job on this one!

Awesome shot!7/7
