Did you scan the image? the grain suggests so. Otherwise great image.

Greetings from Chennai Anjan,

This is nicely done.Excellently captured action.
The pic is grainy and also the cable overhead is distracting.YOu could have cjosen a lowere POV to avoid that. Anyway a good one- Vikram

Not the clearest of shots but there is a real sense of power and movement in it. I like the composition with the boats racing across and out of the picture. You have done well to avoid chopping the end off the left hand boat.

speed and action is capture very well Anjan. I guess the picture has a little noise. Do you want to run it through "neatimage"? Also a bit more contrast and saturation would work I guess.

TFS.

Very bold, powerful composition. Sadly, a bit too grainy. Nevertheless, great pic by sheer merit of POV and composition. You were on another boat, I guess?...
Thanks for sharing. Kazi

Hello Anjan
Not a great quality in the photo (scanned?), but the intensity of the action stands out in the shot thanks largely to your POV. Compositionwise this is indeed very good
