ACTION AT THE SEA. C&C please

[Emmanuel]

trying to capture some action in the sea, with the wind being my opponent ( strong wind filling my lens with moist - salt )

Seeing as no-one has C&C'd here's my 2p worth FWIW!

#1 - I don't like this. The focus is on the flag and it should be on the windsurfers

#2 - Nice colour and movement. It's just a shame the guy in focus has his back turned to you

#3 - I like this. Good colour and movement and the guy in the middle is facing towards the camera. It just seems a smidge out of focus.

#4 - Very nice photo. Although I think I would prefer the guy on the right as that's the way he appears to be moving.

#5 - Don't like this. It's all surf and no substance and you can't see the windsurfer clearly enough

#6 - Don't like this. It seems out of focus and a bit "nothingy"

#7 - As for #6 above

#8 - As for #5 and #6 above

#9 - It's an OK photo but it's distracting that the windsurfer's right arm is cut off. Would be better if he was a bit more vertical, I think

#10 - As for #6 above


You may find you're more likely to get C&C on fewer pictures in a set.

thanks Babs
must agree with all that you said
only comments I can add is that
#2 it would be impossible for him to make a duck turn and be looking at me
#4 he is moving from the right towards the left( as we look at it) I would also prefer him on the right , but it's one of those 1 second shots, ( no time to plane it or make it as you want, just shoot and and finish, no rewind for a second try )
#9 his hand is actually bent in back of his body !

thanks for the comments, will try to trash photos from now on

I would also add that with a horizon as prominent as this, it really should be level.
