 Went on a Friesen family reunion this weekend up to Lake Shuswap in British Columbia. Nearly everybody was there including all my younger cousins who bleed X-sport. In this sport (who's name was not totally agreed upon (wake surfing?)) the boat is trimmed to cause the largest wake possible. Then everybody sits on one side of the boat to make it even larger. The surfer starts with a rope about 10 feet behind the boat to get up. The boat is likely only going 15-18 mph. Once you get in the right groove you can throw the rope back into the boat and surf as long as you can stay ahead of the wake. Looks like fun!

Ding, ding! I saw the comment about you squeezing in a landscape and out of the few thumbnails I surfed, this had the look.

This is very well captured image but honestly I feel it looks slightly oversharped.

I love to colour in the wake. Overall, your colours are nicely saturated, but I think some people might find the sharpening a bit much. I like it though. 8

Nice action and colors. You could have gotten a better composiotion and you really need to straighten the horizon. 5
