Flying High

IMAGE CAPTION - I took this photo in the Bahamas while killing time to leave for the airport. The wind was high and was just right for the parasurfers. They were all out on a Saturday late morning. To me the story he tells is very colorful and strong.

Technical info : The exposure time was set automatically at 1/3000, ISO 800 at 300mm focal length.

Brian Magor

Good action shot - but perhaps too tightly framed. It would be nice to have the figure a little smaller in the frame so that you could see more of the apparatus he is using. Obviously you can't get it all in the image without making the figure too small, but I think there is room for a slightly wider perspective, Score 7

John Larson

Good action shot that should get some acceptances. My only suggestion would be if we could see more of his face. Score 8.

Alan Thiese

Nice action shot. I appreciate the muted background at the top of the image to allow the viewer to focus on the subject. Score 8.
Alex Lane Great Action Shot! You caught it at just the right moment - Board off the water rider in action!! Alex (9)
Subhash Sapru Yes Linda, the story is colourful and strong. The image is sharp. But I would have added more space at the top to add from where he was hanging -7

Linda Speh - Biography - My experience with photography is simply for my enjoyment and includes mostly vacations and family photos. I got my first digital camera in 2000 and have finally worked my way through four different cameras of varying capabilities. Once I got my entry level DSLR, I realized I have finally arrived. I have found these cameras extremely intelligent but still cause me a lot of grief. I recently upgraded to a more advanced DSLR and my learning curve is wide and long. Eventually, I will learn how to use the settings on this new camera.

I joined St. Louis Camera Club in 2007 and enjoy learning through their club competitions. I have completed the Basic Photography class taught by Kathy O'Donnell after having taken her Basic and Advanced Photoshop Elements/CS classes earlier. I am basically a beginner and hope that the Study group experience will help me understand what makes a good image and what others think of those that I have created. I know that I am my own 'worst' critique so it will be fun to experience other opinions and to see what others in the group enjoy photographing.

I am a mother of two grown sons and two growing grandchildren, so my family and husband, Warren, are a large part of my photographic subjects. I find photographing children the best!
