The Skimboarder, a photo from Aklan, Western Visayas

Photographer's Note

One of the popular beach sports in Boracay is skimboarding, and these experienced skimboarders can teach you how for $4/hour. Taken during sunset, instead of shooting some sceneries, I opted to shoot some people for a change.

This is a great action taken at exactly the right moment. I like how the boarder has been captured in silhouette and the splash in the foreground reflects the sunlight. The sky looks a little burnt out in top left, but a good result nevertheless.

Hi Alford,
Very cool shot, I like it. nice moment, He is not in the most elegant position, but the way the body push forward into the picture leads our vision in to the horizon which is the strongest point of this photo. the sail boats and colors of the sky is nice and rich with good contrast. and the diagonal lines of the wave also lead us toward it. The atmosphere is lively and cheerful, full of energy and action. Very good. It deserves much more attention. Keep up the good work, those with patience will be rewarded and recognized. Thanks
Way
