Re: fun at the beach
Nicely done and the NIK application is very subtle.

Re: fun at the beach
I know that the 'stumps' seem an integral part of the 'cricket match', but I do wonder if it is that necessary? The reason I ask is to suggest that if the image was cropped at the right hand side thus moving the group more over to the right hand side of the frame, there could be a more powerful composition. Just an idea!
It's a superb image that I feel could maybe be strengthened even more. But others will, I'm sure have other views.

Re: fun at the beach
What do you think? Is it a stronger, weaker or 'no different' image?

Re: fun at the beach
The cropping focus's your attention on the action. You can visualize the ball being hit toward the sailboat. In my view that is a great call, Donald, and a great image, Neil!

Re: fun at the beach
Nice capture Neil, I think Donald's suggestion for the crop has turned the image into a much better image!
