i think i would have cropped out the top two inches of this photo, focussing on the boys and thew waves. i find the orange at the top a little distracting

Aha, looks like Lake Michigan, near North Ave. Nice capture of action, brings back memories of playing volleyball at North Ave. and Oak St. years ago. Nice composition, colors, stop action.

ncie idea but this shows why one should follow the rule of thirds -- the top half has no action and is distracting

Wow, that's a cool shot. It's cool how the wave comes up in just that one little sopt and no where else. The water is well captured, good timing on the shot.

I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.

I think this would have been better with a b/w or sepia added. The sky is a bit flat, but the wave hitting the boy is interesting for a capture. Kind of far away, and can't really see the emotion though. One has to imagine it more then see it. Still a good 5 photo for me though.
