[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Caught this wind surfer going vertical at Big Bay. Used a 1.4x converter. As usual the lighting setup was horrible - strong back and side lighting. The action was good! If you flip the picture 90 degrees to the left it really becomes something midway between psychedelic and scifi.

Hi Cecil,
Superb action picture, the horizontal surfer is really stunning, the waves and splashing water droplets makes it a dramatic photo. Job well done my friend!
Hans

Hi Cecil
What a great shot! It's not easy taking such scene with the camera on a tripod unless you know exactly where the action will take place. Despite the poor lighting conditions, it's a marvelous photo.Congratulations

wow!!! amazing timing!!

You were able to capture the verticality of the surfboard against the horizontal sea. You were able to make a great composition with the surfer on the top left part and the waves in the bottom right balancing the photo.

Congratulations. TFS
