Default Skim boarders

I went down to the beach and seen these people skim boarding. This girl was the best out of the three.

These were all taken from about 75 feet away.

Frank, these are some of the best shots that I have seen from you......I am sure that I have not seen them all but these are sharp and the water is frozen as well as the subject and yet you sense alot of motion and energy. Great light also especially for a sunny day on the water...how about a self portrait with you on one of those things!

Thanks, Pat for the kind words. There is no chance of me getting on one of those boards. I think I need something that is a little more heavy duty. And as far as I know metal don't float. LOL

Thanks for looking

Frank

Frank, these are just great. I share Patrick's enthusiam. One thing I especially enjoy is the way you were able to show her concentration. Your composition is spot on and I love the contrast of her golden tan and the blue of the water. Nice job!

Do you not fancy trying this youself, it looks fun. These are great Frank with the first being my favourite from the set. You've captured a fantastic action sequence, with beautiful colours and a beautiful girl , well done mate.

Beach, I don't think there is a board that will float after I get on it. LOL

Thanks again for all the nice comments.

Frank
