Default Attempt at jetski action shot!

Hi all
Got new laptop now so back on line, I took this shot yesterday in an attempt to capture the action on slalom jet skiing round the bouys. I just love the expression on the face of the rider.
Hope you enjoy looking.



Thanks for clicking.

Glyn

I'd say you pretty well nailed this one Glyn, I know you have an interest in the sport yourself and your enthusiasm is self evident, good work buddy

Very nice! I agree, you've really captured his expression well. Action shots aren't always easy to pull off but you did it well!
