Water skiing, a photo from Languedoc-Roussillon, South

Photographer's Note

After a day walk, we rest in the campsite above the lake (127 ha), existing since 1965 after the dam construction. We hear the noise of a boat. It's water skiing, on the glittering deep blue water. Hope they are coming near the buoy. Wait for the perfect moment..... Here it is!

Hi Claude,
Agree with you the moment is perfect! You achieved a great composition with excellent waves on the water, beautiful dark blue colours and incredible light. Well seen and executed.
Have a nice day! M

Hello Claude
J'aime ce violent contraste entre la mer bleue marine (ou est-elle donc d'ailleurs celle-la ?) et presque noire et le bateau laissant une longue et large trace argentйe
Bien vu Claude et bien fait
Bonne journйe, ici la flotte !
Bien amicalement
Patrick

Bonjour Claude,

a very appealing composition... I like the strong contrast you have chosen, it enhances the graphism of the water surface, of the waves... very well done! It might be interesting also in B&W...

Have a nice evenig

Hi Clodo,

Incredible shot. I can see only one color Blue..Explosion of blue. Its like the man is skiing on the blue paint. The waves created are dramatic.

Have a nice time
Tushar

Hi Claude
the textures in the water are a great visual.
the waves created by the boat and skier add a lovely touch of contrast in form.
well seen of this action photo.
