 I got to go out of the lakes for a long time today since it was in the mid 40s. The warm weather caused a lot of slush to form, but the ice is still nearly 2 feet thick, so no worries. I saw a group of wind-boarders having a good ole time, so I grabbed some shots that I figured would fit nicely in this challenge. I wish there were a bit more color, since the person blends a bit into the background, but so goes non-setup photos.

Excellent photograph. So sharp, wonderfully focussed. Great depth but the horizon is nicely just OOF to not be a distraction. Forget the challenge, it's an excellent composition, but of course it's a perfect fit for this theme. Awesome job.
