Wonderfully evocative and nicely controlled highlights.

It has been about 25 years since I was on that beach - far too long. :(

A beautiful image, superbly captured. The perfect focus even catches the water droplets!

What lens were you using?  With bokeh like this, I am guessing a 200 f2.8L, or even a 135 f2L?

Leszek - this is super-impressive, in terms of freezing the action and retaining superb focus. I like the fact that the background is monochrome, giving even more impact to the F/A-18.

On an Alpine motorcycle tour, July 2009.

As a keen glider pilot,let me congratulate you on a beautifully artistic image. As someone has said this has the look of a surreal computer graphic.

I love the texture of the altostratus and the red towplane against the blue band of horizon. The grey hat even goes well with the cloud base!

This was snatched as the bike went past at a charity motorcycle ride -

'The Snowy Ride' ...see www.snowyride.com.au

Like Mike R, I love the concentrating eye of the second skater.

The use of shallow DOF and the colours in the foreground and background all work so well. You can really sense the effort being expended by the first skater.

Taken in dull conditions and only just capturing the bike in the RHS

of the frame, so no composition room for it 'to move into'.
