*daacon* · 06-28-2008, 08:20 AM

Nice shots all. There was a good variety of subjects. So I am hardly qualified to do this but as it is subjective here are my favorites.

HM

djm - I really like this shot. Technically very sharp, colors are great and the timing is superb. If his arm did not block his face this may have been a winner.

arjay bee - Perfect timing again. The massive metal attacking a puddle and winning. Very nice framing as well. An excellent shot.

Kim - what a shot of pure playfullness. The rainbow in the water. It's too bad he was not showing his face. Regardless what a wonderfull memory.

And now onto the winners

Third Place Tpeace

This is a great action shot well captured. The water tail The angle of the surfer the framing I really enjoyed it all. I wonder if he survived this as it looks like the next frame would have been a wipe out

2nd Place Laree

I love the framing and bokeh. The expression on the girls faces really tell a story. The tube suspended in mid air tilted slighty really adds to the picture. You get a real sense of speed with this one

First Place Bigben91682

What can I say . While tecnically this may not be the best , I think it is an excellent capture. A rare opppertunity with the right place right time shot. The tongue out of his mouth, one can imagine the pure panic the goose must feel. This was my favorite shot.

Well done Ben and the reins are now yours.

This was a tough one to judge as there were so many good ones. I thought LaRee's shot was really good, but I agree that the winner was a great capture.

Congrats to all the winners!

Thank you Dave. I've been so busy with post processing all the wedding photos I took on Saturday that I missed this post. There were so many great action water images. It was a real treat to view them all. Now, my break from pp is almost over. Sigh, I process all my raw images one at a time and I took 512 photos! I'm up to 186 at the moment. I am amazed that out of that number of photos there are only a handful that are not useable. It is going to make it hard to narrow them down for the DVD proshow producer show I'm planning, and the book, and the prints....you get the idea.

Thanks again Dave. This was a great theme you came up with!
