Whatever you feel an urge to say...no ego here. ;)

Oh, to be able to plane in 12 knots, the advantage of being light weight. She needs a little more down haul, otherwise it looks rigged pretty well to me :) Oh yea, try not to cut the top of the sail off. I like the DOF. It's a little over exposed.

I like it :) reminds me of summer! Only thing is my eye is drawn to the sail rather than the surfer.

yeah, it'd be good if the entire sail was in the picture. also, looks kinda blurry and a lot of artifacts maybe from compression? is this cropped in a lot?

I nitpick sailing pictures. First comment, as noted, is you cut off the sail. Second: she's sailing away from you. I know it's not always possible, but sailing photos are more compelling when you can see the faces of the crew, or if you got the shot beam-on or off the bow.

Points taken, let me select another one to play...with entire mast and beam-on.
Thanks guys.
