Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Wow. Awesome shot. I love it.

Can you provide some background? Were you shooting from the shore, or on a boat and what lens were you using?

Hi ABG
I was shooting from the shore in the afternoon - so was shooting in to the sun. I was using my 70 - 300mm ED lens at 145mm, 1/2000 sec and f/5.6. I would love to get the 200 - 400 vr but cant afford it just yet :cry:

Fantastic photo - the depth of colour in the sky and the whole composition really appeals to me... well done :)

I have to agree, great colour range in the sky and composition is great considering you were shooting a moving subject.

This is a great shot. The extra windsurfers in the background add some depth and colour. The colour contrast of the sky adds appeal to me. Great image!

Great work with the equipment your using, and the distance you were shooting at, my friend 'Piper' also takes surf shots she tells me she learns a lot form your images, timing, composition knowing and knowing how to anticipate the action.

The 200-400Vr is an awesome lens it will set you back $10K but hey you may get a great return if you get a pro surf photographer gigs.

Beauty!! Really like this shot. Great blues and awesome background. Composition really draws me in. Only niggle might be the crooked horizon, but this may have been deliberate?
