V8 Superboats

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.

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.

We've all seen the V8 Supercars, but a recent trip to Melton (Vic) to watch the V8 Superboats was a whole new experience - seriously need to check this out at http://www.v8superboats.com.au/ if you're looking for something different.

These are both very good.

In the second image, I like how you have captured the hand gestures of the navigator, along with the plume of water showing both movement and from whence they've come. If there was just a little more space between the boat and the edge of the frame in this image, that would be great, but it's still damn good as it is.

Hey Eric :) Nice to see you finally posting a pic or two!

Love the first one here - there's obvious movement in the water, while the boat itself is tack sharp. I'd like to see a jet-ski getting around these courses, although falling off in that colour water wouldn't be all that cool ;)

Looking foward to seeing some more from you.
