Great action. It makes that guy look very talented, I bet he'd love a copy.

A pretty cool action shot. Exposure and focus are pretty good. I like the angle and framing you've used. The water flow and the kayak go nicely vertical left to right through the shot, I think this helps create a good sense of movement and action, you get a good feel of what's going on. Placement of the subject is good, and with the color of the boat, my attention is definitely drawn to it.

I can't say of ways to improve, I've not had experience doing action shots like this. It looks pretty good to me. I read your comment about people 'getting' it. I've looked and looked, to see if there is something about it that I'm not seeing :-) (if there is, let me know, I'm curious)

1. Proceed. 2. Hold.

This is one of my favorites in my favorites! I love the muted colors and the two persons seemingly so lost inside the gigantic building. It has such a sureal feel to it with the people 'waiting' for the commands. The title is perfect!
