Beautiful composition. The lighting and the shadows really make the hand and ball pop out of the picture. Incredible details in the hand. You can see the fingerprints off of the fingers. Wow. Love the glow of color in the bottom of the sphere.

good composition and pretty decent lighting although you should have tried to reduce the big hotspot on the ball

Greetings... This is a great shot. This is the kind of 'abstract' that I like in photography. The subject itself is not abstract but the theme behind it is. This looks like a giant hand of divine nature reaching out from within the cosmos and grabbing an unsuspecting planet :) Very nice work :) = 10

Not bad there Turbo...though you might want to try a softbox over those Alien Bees to tone down that hotspot on the ball. I like the idea though...

Good catch, to me it looks almost like he's holding onto the boat. I like how this photo was taken around sundown, it gives it a nice soft look. Nice job getting the surfer at the peak of the action. The horizon looks slightly tilted but it's not a big deal. I wish you would have gotten closer, but I realize you probably had limitations on zooming.

Nice capture. Shot is a bit noisy and the boat spoils the simplicity of the shot though. Good composition.

Great capture. Would like to see the shot without the boat in the background, but still a very nice crisp shot. Very dymanic. Jacko. 9
