Great stop action, good white balance, good use of the rule of thirds with the slant of the sail bringing the view down to the subject. Good luck

this is a great action shot. i like the way the sea spray is so crisp, but it seems like the focus might be a slight bit off.

Haha, love his expression, he knows he is milliseconds from a world of pain. Great sport shot, even though the contrast is a little strong for my taste. 7 from me.
