Kite boarding Photo

Photographer’s Note

Kite boarding at Boracay.
I enjoyed watching, wishing I was younger and didn't have a fear of water :) Any suggestions on how to improve this would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello Karen,

You have positioned the images well for this shot.
I like how the colourful sails frame the focal people and really force the viewer towards them. Superb colours.
There is a little noise but it is in no way distracting.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Karen,
The leading characters in this picture are nicely framed by the visible parts of those kites. The windsurfer to the left is also an important part with the counteracting angle.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Bonjour, chère Karen,
Le vent, l'un des quatre éléments de la Terre souffle sur nos têtes et s'enroule dans nos cheveux. Léger comme l'air, il soulève bien des pensées...
Jolie composition où les couleurs virevoltent délicieusement, ainsi, bien sûr que les grandes toiles servant de parachute ascensionnel (sauf erreur).
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Karen,
I like the composition which is well framed and helps heighten the dynamism of the scene. Colours and sharpness are both fine. I really don't think there is much room for improvement though you might want to think about playing around with the contrast and lightening it up a little. It would be nice to see just a tad more detail in the two figures in the foreground. Not a major issue and you may decide after playing around that you prefer the image as it is :-)

Hi Karen,
Splendid daily life shot with attractive composition. Visibly, big the traffic on the water. The depth of the photo is superb. Excellent colours and timing. Very attractive shot. Have a nice week!

Bonjour Karen,
photo très dynamique avec cette sensation de mouvement dans les 'kites'. L'arrière plan produit la profondeur de la scène, des lumières qui ne sont pas des plus faciles à gérer.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.

get a wet suit, it is like an all over life jacket, you can paddle around all day and not even get sunburned and since you can't sink there is zero danger. Get a bright one so the jet skis can see you. Ina couple of days you will start tog et the hang of being in the water and you can take off all or part of the suit, next thing you know you'll be a fish...

Hi Karen,
Beautiful tropical paradise image with the ocean colors changing in three distinct layers. Vivid natural colors to the kites swirling on the lovely beach.

Hello Karen
A good action shot and I like how the people are framed by the kites. Could be a little bit of noise but otherwise it is great. Tfs, Marlene
