Good morning Gunnar,
ah, the swedish colours. Very fine captured. a yaw is more the movement if you come out of your course without an aim, the natural movement of gravity but sideways (driftage or crabbing) I don't know if i have explained it well in english, in German it would be easier.
But desite of this i wish you a very fine day

Hello Gunnar,
A good capture of this kayak in full flow. The canoeist is well placed in the frame and I like the curving wake across this rippling waters. Also, the blue tones, against which his life jacket makes a nice contrast. Very good colours and sharpness.

PS - look out tomorrow and the day after for some people in my pictures ;-)

I like the image with the kayak and the blue water in your frame, lovely colors, very nice atmosphere.
Have a nice evening, Vasilis.

I understand you wanted to get the curve/wake in shot, but it has meant the kayak is leaving the frame. I think the composition would work better is there was more space in front of him. (It's a bug-bear of mine, so you may want to ignore me! :))Is this the proportion of the images as they leave the camera or have you cropped it? The technical quality is top rate with wonderful texture in the water and glorious colours.

Hello, Gunnar!

The composition is simple, but wonderful, especially for the color of the water, so blue! Very good sharpness as well! Good job!

Hi Gunnar, this kayak looks very small, not much place in it. Beautiful colour and texture of water.

Hej Gunnar,
composition-wise, it is a very good capture! I don't know why but for some reason I like very much the "trail" (is is the correct word?) on the water surface behind the kayak!
Kind regards,
Elena

Hello Gunnar,
now that is a blue! attractive, almost mininalist shot with good sharpness. I would prefer to see the canoeist coming towards us so that we can see his face.But the colours and compo make up for that.

Gunnar,
Great shot of this man and his kayak. The pattern in the water left by the kayak leads the eye nicely creating a nice sense of direction. The lighting and colors are fine as well.
TFS,
Asa

Bonjour Gunnar,
une scène sympathique en bleu et jeune, presque du duotone. Très nette, on voit bien le sillage laissé par le kayak, très bonnes lumières.
Excellent we.
Daniel.

Royaldevon (5938) 2009-09-19 5:21

Hello Gunnar,

Excellent focus, capturing the details of colur and texture, well
Normally, I would have like the man to be moving into space but here, it is necessary to see the curve of his wake.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hej Gunnar,
A simple composition in a way, but the kayak has created a fine curved line in the water. The yellow parts and the blue water make this a very Swedish picture.
