Holy cow, that's brave of you! Not that you'd fall but that you'd drop the camera! Great shot. Now dodge your face just a bit so we can see that grin.

wow ... just read the lengths you've gone to get this excellent shot ... it was totally worth it ... an excellent 'action' shot with great perspective and love the light shining thru the sails and that expanse of open sea in the background ... you certainly wouldnt want to be a fumble fingered type like me ... losing a camera and fish eye lens to the sea could be an extremely unpleasant experience!!! ..
and before i read roger's comment i didnt really understand wot you meant by a picture stick ... amazing paraphenalia we have to support our 'interest' in photography .. its more an 'obsession' for me, but i didnt think i should infer you had personality problems like my own re photography!! .. i'm too nice, unlike roger!!!
was driving to acupuncturist today and sorta wondered where you were coz i thought you'd be in for the rest of the 'party', just forgot u'd gone away for the weekend .. excellent to have you back ....

Are you holding that camera on a stick? I think you are. With a remote? I'm astounded. OK, let's talk about obsession, shall we? This is just great. Talk about fun. At first glance I was going to complain about the shadows, but after looking at it for a while, the shadow kind of grows on you. It adds a nice contrast, and keeps this from being just a snapshot (not that it could ever be just that). Not sure I'm making any sense, here, so I think I'll stop trying. Great shot, Waddy.

What a lovely find! I love how the orange crowns the tree. Very nice capture with good, quiet editing.

i like the way you've brought out more detail in the tree on the lhs, but i do prefer that sombre blue/green of the sky from the unedited version ... but you'd know by now that i'm particularly partial to dark and gloomy!!!!!! ... so once again its just my opinion ..

This is an incredible catch, Waddy. It has a very oriental feeling to it. It's just amazing you were able to line those up so perfectly. The colors are very vibrant, almost unnatural.
