 Here is the original: .

Not much done in terms of processing -- curves, selected the yellow paddle and the jacket, inversed the selection and used selective color to desaturate the yellow in the water. Sharpened, resized and added border.

Excellent job on the timing of this one - just the right amount of blur in the water to show the motion and the kayak is in perfect focus. Just a thought, but a bit cropped off the right side may enhance the open space he has to move into.

Very good action capture. Nice processing -- much clearer.

I get a very strong sense of excitement from this image

Incredible action here. You had enough motion in the water, yet still a fast enough shutter to keep the kayaker in focus. Nicely captured.

Oh yeah, the additional detail in the water makes it look all the more wild and threatening, and the white boat pops out of the page!

Very subtle but effective editing on this!

I like the processing -- adds a lot of clarity to the image, but I'm not a big fan of the top/bottom border look. In this case, where it does have a purpose in "channeling" the image through the gray DPC page, I think I'd prefer it if the black was thinner, maybe the same as (or up to twice as wide as) the white area.

This image has been greatly improved by your processing. The colour and definition is beautiful, as is the sense of speed and concentration of the kayaker. The border suits it well.

wow... i like it...

Very beautiful the speed effect (in Italy we call this effect panning...) and the separation of the colours of the main subject compared to the water...

Nice processing here Anna. You have brought the focus back to the kayaker with very little PP.

Wonderfully dramatic sense of motion! I think you could probably punch up the colors just a tad more too.
