Dennis,As usual a well exposed and composed image with great timing and an interesting story line. The crop really adds interest to this image, as well. Well done. I look forward to seeing what you can do with an upgraded camera and lens.

Another great action shot - love all the water being kicked up as it becomes the background, causing the eyes to focus on the skier #10133465Carla Capra Anderson May 11, 2012
Dennis, you have produced another wonderful action image. I enjoy so much that I see in this image. The rope/line leads my eye into the image as does that small slip of blue water. The white water spray intesifies the ropes strong line and also, creates an amazing b/g for this champion skier. Then my eye hits land in the upper right, sending me back to the skier. Great action image. #10133481Dennis Gay May 12, 2012
