Great shot Bob! Hopefully this will be me (ha!) in a few months time as I will be having a lesson in kite surfing! Maybe we could make a meet of it and people could take shots of me learning?
Or maybe not!
I'd like to see the colour version of this one as I think it'd add a lot more vibrancy and flow. I do like the B&W but will comment more when I see the colour version.

Thanks guys.
This is a solarised version I prepared for next months camera club competition.
The subject is Action and I think it will make a punchy B&W Print.
Will post up the color shot tomorrow Geoff.

Great capture, your very right about being big, bold and punchy. It perfectly captures the moment!
I love how the water is frozen yet the feel of the action is so in your face.

very nice shot!
I almost feel like the water is going top splash out of the screen - well done!

I have to admit that the B&W version has more impact. You have taken a great shot and made it heaps stronger with the black and white conversion. Good luck with the competition

I think the Bw helps to seperate the water from the background extremely well! nice capture indeed.
