Hello John,
A good capture of this speedboat and water skier. The 'V' shaped wash gives a great sense of dynamism with both boat and skier nicely positioned in the frame. A very pleasing light with good colours and sharpness.

delkoo (34308) 2009-07-08 4:21

hi john,
Beautiful light, nice crisp image, all-around excellent!

Regards,
didier

pierrefonds (26335) 2009-07-08 5:01

Hello John,

The reflections in the water and the capture of action of the water skier are asset to the composition. The moving boat leads our eyes toward the curve of the river which is giving depth and perspective to the composition. The trees and the bushes are framing well the river. The luminosity is enhancing the colors of the picture. Well done, have a nice day.

ciakgiak (10730) 2009-07-08 5:36

Hello John,
I like a lot this composition, the diagonal line connected by the motorboat, starting from the corner, creates a beautiful stretch chart.
The light and sharpness are excellent.
Well done my dear friend.
Friendly regards.
Giorgio

janneman (1212) 2009-07-08 6:00

Leuke zomerse foto.
De waterskiër bevindt zich precies op de boeggolf.

Prima dat je de eigendomsrechten van je foto's ook beschermt tegen de eigenaren van TE!!

MarianneS (14282) 2009-07-08 6:45

Hello John,
Now, Belgium is under the rain. And it is so good to see your photo, testimony of the wonderful weather we had last week!
The movement made by the boat passing in the water gives a lot of dynamism and this water skier had a lot of fun, I am sure.
The light was good, it gives very nice colours to the vegetation around.
Well done!
Regards,
Marianne

wolf38 (12823) 2009-07-08 9:22

Hello John. Apparently you go with open eyes through the world and find everywhere your motives. The today's alive photo is full action and dynamics. The perspective from above is ideal. My acknowledgment for this masterful photo. Best Regards, Wolfgang.

rodgerg (24183) 2009-07-08 9:57

Goed avond John,

Une parfaite maîtrise technique pour présenter cette scène rapide et pas facile à capter. Le bateau et le skieur sont idéalement situés dans l'image. De belles couleurs naturelles également.
Vriendelijk,
Roger

jemaflor (39433) 2009-07-08 10:37

Hi John,
Nice pov and great effect with the wave formed by the man and this boat, good depth effect and beautiful light for colors.

UlfE (8992) 2009-07-08 10:38

Hi John,

A real summer picture. I love your high POV. Your positioning of the boat and the water skiier is excellent. Colours and sharpness are perfect. TFS and have a nice evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

toto (18709) 2009-07-08 11:05

Bonjour,
belle photo de ce hors bord qui file sur ce plan d' eau en tirant ce skieur, de toute beauté ce mouvement donné par ces traces bien distinctes du bateau et du skieur.
Jolies couleurs, bonne netteté de cesparties fixes et de celle en mouvement.

Amitiés Thomas

stego (22360) 2009-07-08 11:44

Hi John,
An effective action shot and an accomplished compo, like usual. I like how the tracks on the water are aligned diagonally and the curve exactly on the corner of the image, suggesting a continuation beyond the image.
Regards,
José

peppe59 (1969) 2009-07-08 14:04

Ciao John,

Hi John.

Of course I like it. Maybe a wider view could be better but it's a nice picture anyway.

Well done!

vmf-214 (1622) 2009-07-08 21:43

Hi John,

Wonderful crisp image and great lighting, very nice reflection on the water. All around a great image John,

Hello John.

cbrman (18851) 2009-07-09 4:34

Hello John,

Une véritable vue aérienne de ce skieur ! Le point de vue est très bien choisi. Il te permet d'avoir une très belle vue d'ensemble du canal sur lequel navigue ce bateau.
A+

Dominique

hdl (6735) 2009-07-09 4:44

Da's eens iets anders dan wat we van je gewoon zijn. De speedboot staat op het punt om een mooi diagonaal in je foto te trekken. Ik vind deze best wel aantrekkelijk en verfrissend voor de warme dagen.

Silvio1953 (41843) 2009-07-09 6:34

Ciao John, lovely action shoot with splendid light, beautiful diagonal composition with fascinating reflections, I like a lot, ciao Silvio

tabora (13638) 2009-07-09 7:26

Une rive bien verte, agréable.

Bonjour John.
Une photo qui sent bon l'été et les vacances ! J'aime la composition qui inscrit le sillage dans la diagonale. J'aime les couleurs et le bon rendu de l'eau.
Bon week end !
Jacques

batalay (20964) 2009-07-10 16:12

Hello Dear John,

The composition with the diagonal structure, defined by the shore and the boat's trajectory, is an excellent depiction. I like the little bit of red created by the water skier's outfit.

Warm regards, John. Have a good weekend.

Bulent

bukitgolfb301 (4658) 2009-07-10 23:13

Bien dans la diagonale les remous de ce bateau avec ici le skieur bien dans le cadre.Le rouge apporte une bonne touche de couleur à cette image.
Bonne journée

Bon week end
Amitiés

alvaraalto (5231) 2009-07-11 11:35

Dag John,

Een ongewoon snelle foto met een mooi contrast tussen het rustige landschap en de snel varende boot met de waterskier er achter. Ook mooi passend bij het boek dat ik op het ogenblik aan hetlezen ben: Joe Speedboot.

groet Rob

Graal (58039) 2009-07-11 23:30

Hi John,

Hello John,
Great composition and timing! I like that boat going across the image and I also like this high POV.
Well done!

s_lush (2228) 2009-07-12 12:27

Hello John,
You have chosen a very good POV. As the "Map: view" shows this was a bridge. Perfectly good angle and framing, as well as light, colors and quality!
Best regards,

pablominto (40754) 2009-07-13 3:30

Hello John,

This is news for me, I didn't know they use the canals for water skiing..!
I'm surprised they are allowed to keep as high speed as they need, after all the canal is narrow...
A well composed presentation with strong diagonal movement, wonderful summer colours!

Greetings,
Pablo -

JCG (25377) 2009-07-14 5:33

Bonjour John,

Photo de cet instant nautique et estival bien rafraîchissante et lumineuse. Joli cadrage sur ce skieur et la gerbe d'eau qu'il a exécuté avec sa figure. Le piqué de l'image et les couleurs sont très agréables. Des conditions idéales pour s'adonner à ce sport. Bien vu John.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne journée,

Jean-Charles

Vasa (5608) 2009-07-14 16:45

Un bon jour de Grace-hollogne.
john

emjleclercq (14310) 2009-07-15 13:57

Nice colors, espcially on the top of the picture (thanks to the reflections in the water). This is more than just a fast boat, it is a nautical skyer! But this sport seems to be less fashionable than it used to be some years ago.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Yves-triga (3497) 2009-07-16 4:26

hello john,
oooh, i need to be there,just for refesh.

Angshu (33697) 2009-07-22 21:57

Dag John
Lovely diagonal of the wake of the boat. Lovely crop as well with good contrast between the water and the coast. The red trousers of the jet skiier attracts the eye! A very interesting picture & something very different from you...& I like it!
Best regards
Angshu

kingurek (614) 2009-07-25 4:33

Hello,
You have captured here a great moment. Wonderful composition. Very impressive photo. I am wondering whether it's not too sharp but I like it :)

COSTANTINO (22747) 2009-07-26 11:22

Thanks you've caught a great view.

gunbud (27907) 2009-08-21 18:28

Hi John,
The streaking spped boat and skiier cut a sharp line over the riffling river that contrast brilliantly with the lush green banks.
Excellent depth and sharpness to this fine summer scene.
Regards, Tom

josepmarin (33785) 2009-09-15 10:11

Hi John,
This scene is full of action and has a very interesting dynamism. It is a spontaneous and simple capture in which the stela of the speedboat on to the blue water and the skier with his red clothes have a nice chromatic effect on the fluvial landscape.
Nice shot.
Friendly regards,
Josep

pajaran (3216) 2009-11-29 0:48

Dobar dan, poceo je suncan za razliku od sinoc kada je padala jaka kisa sa vetrom.
Pravi trenutak, boje i kompozicija ove lepe fotografije. Neka uzivaju.
Prijatan vikend, Paja.
