 Shot was taken whilst on a ferry. Some of the jetskiers came to jump on the wake of the ship. Taken at the 300mm end of the zoom lens. Had to crop quite a bit, and unfortunately I've now learnt that this cheapo lens, whilst great for price, has a lot of CA :P... didn't like the PS correction tool, so I used the selective colour tool to get rid of as much CA as possible.

PP
- raw conversion and crop
- NN
- curves
- shadow/highlight for wave detail
- Selective colour to remove CA
- selective colour to alter jetski colour a bit lighter
- selection levels to create vignette
- smart sharpen
- dpc resize

There is a lot of chromatic abrasion here, and it is a bit distracting
