Photographer’s Note

It is a second border today..
The other side of the bay is the kingdom of Jordan, a bit south from the city of Aqaba, on the Red Sea. 4 countries share this narrow gulf - Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia - all can be seen from the same point.

I was waiting a long time for this wind jump..

Hi Yitzhak, I always thought this sport looks more scary than fun, what if you never come down again? :) Nice to see this colorful, joyous scene against the desert in the background. Nice composition with the sea as a simple blue ribbon at the bottom.

Not exactly the same border this time Itzik,

I really like this because you know that I am attracted to this sport. I sould be starting it this winter, it's supposed to be easier to start on the ice. Very good framing in the shot, with more then one atlhete in the frame.
Very nice one.

Good DOF and BG!

Hey Yitzhak, nice, dynamic picture, and a lot to see, against a very dramatid background. The wakes, or the whote water that the kite surfers make, is very nice in the picture, and I like the low PoV. I think the picture is a bit oversharpened.
Take care, Rinie

A nice dynamic result you got, Itzik. Quite an amount of activity happening on the sea, and a vivid add provided by the gliders and surfers against the desert-ish setting in the back.

Hi Yitzhak, hello to you too. All is well I hope?
COOL photo! The surfers seem somewhat surreal in front of those mountains. Great DOF and good sharp action photo! Very good detail visible.
