[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While waiting for the 2007 Make A Wish Sea Colony Triathlon to start, I got distracted watching this kite-surfer, backlit by the eastern sun, and battling the swells of the Atlantic Ocean.

PP work--not much; cropped to the golden rectangle, framed, resized, sharpened for TL.

Hi Karen,

Very nice capture. Well exposed in difficult lighting. I like the frame, it adds to the overall effect. Good, strong composition.

TFS,
David

Great capture - nice timing... effectively framed. Excellent composition and use of light focusing on that solitary wave - great sharpness.

Hi Karen, lovely photo, I like the brightness there with the silhouette of the surfer! well done.

Hi Karen,
I love the suns reflection off the ocean.. looks like tiny diamonds.. great shot! Also at stopping the action... cool sport! I often wonder if I was not on TL would I have seen or noticed different subjects? :)

The surfer is well captured, Karen. But he's even better presented. Nice frame - and that's something I don't say easily ;o). I love the splashes and the silhouette. Light is ok, I feel the need to put my shades on LOL.
Well done, TFS!

Hello Karen!
Great picture, nice composition!
I like the frame!
Well Done!

HAzta la VIsta!

Hello Karen,
The action has been well captured!
The backlight makes wonders to the whitewaters and it also gices a great outline to the surfer...
A well composed image!
