Good composition abd subject matter. Fits the theme well. I didn't like the angle of the shot when I first voted, but on second look, it gives a sense of movement (along with the water spray) and speed.

Love the water spray - tilted horizon doesn't work for me in this particular instance.

crazy and trippy tilt! I wish the yellow of the boat was more saturated though, its getting a bit lost in the splash, especially with those shadows.

Good action shot. nice contrast of colours also. A better title (eg. Powerboat or Hydrocraft Racing) would have made this a real magazine cover. 8.

you should crop more on the left side, because it is moving to the right side. = 5

This would have also work for sound challenge. The emphassis seems to be on the water trail. The boat seems a little distant.

I like the little spots of light on the water. There's a lot of action here, which I'm sure would do well as a cover. I'm not sure if I like the tilted horizon though, I'm sure that was an artistic choice, and it does give this more movement.
