A kayaker is shown navigating the treacherous Potomac River in Great Falls, Park in Virginia. I particularly enjoy visiting this place during summer and autumn as it is only about a 20 minute drive from my house.

Near the Nation's Capital, the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through a narrow gorge. This scene makes the falls and Mather Gorge, named after the first National Park Service Director, Stephen T. Mather, a popular site with local residents and tourists.

Hi Danilo,
Lovely action shot. I can't imagine that this wild place is just 20 minutes from a major urban centre.

hello Danilo

Very well composed shot of this action freeze on a kayak drift. The water looks very fast and swift flow. But dangerous place for children.

Bonjour Danilo,
L'impression de danger est bien ressentie, avec le rapide et puis le relief et les nuances. La présence de l'homme renforce ce sentiment.
bonne journée mon ami

Hello Danilo,
here you showed us class a picture, with very sharp details. Very interesting action in water. A beautiful composition me much pleases.
Many greetings.

HEllo Danilo,

Extraordinary image. I would like the man to be returning instead of going away, but you couldn't force him to do that ;). Very good indeed.

Regards from Portugal,

Sara

Hi Danilo,
Good shot,beautiful place.
Best regards,
Ralf

Ganda ng spot mo Dan para kunan ang eksenang ito. Very powerful image Buddie.

Salamat sa comment mo sa darter ko :-), tinoyo na naman ako kasi yung pizza dapat ipopost ko kaso naisip ko puro pagkain na naman ipopost ng karamihan. Isa yun sa una kong practice shot na di ko mailagay lagay dahil poor quality. Nagkaroon lang ng slot kasi yung title at B/W pa kaya di masyadong pansinin. Syempre, sa tunay na compet yung d best ang isasali natin :-). Siguro sa Oct. mag aral ako ng advance photography. Bale 5 Sundays lang ito. At dito sa Cavite may nakilala akong professional photographer, turuan nya daw ako sa Wedding Photography, I hope totohanin nya :-)

Sa muli kaibigan kong scientist/artist

Hi Danilo,

Great sharp focus on the man in the kayak! You've captured the movement of the water. Very good composition, lighting and colours. Great work!

TFS Greetings Simone

Hi Danilo,

this is a great photo with a subject that remembers me of how I often feel when learning about postprocessing.
CS3 is my kayak and the books of Margulis my paddle.
The rocks in the background are my vision.
The torrential stream stands for the waste number of pitfalls, options and challanges.

By the way I tried a workshop on this. Hope I didn't overdo it and that you like it.

TFS and best wishes!
Attila
