Great action shot. Very well done. Watched a lot of these on Lake Michigan last week-end but no great shots like this.

I don't know how in the world you did this, but is is amazing. Voted

Karen Stuebing		16-Sep-2005 09:54
Love this POV. It makes the kite look HUGE and the surfer so small. Gives a sense of the power of the wind.

Pepe Zyman		16-Sep-2005 06:26
Very cool angle.

Brian McAllister		16-Sep-2005 06:16
Great action shot.

Johan Toll		16-Sep-2005 06:02
That would be fun to try some day :) Beautiful colours and light!

Guest		16-Sep-2005 03:53
Very cool ... it looks as though you are going to be flattened if you stay there for much longer! :)

Bryan Murahashi		16-Sep-2005 03:50
Neat perspective and nice action shot.

Karen Leaf		16-Sep-2005 03:34
Not sure I totally disagree with the tights and cape theory, but I am now convinced you have a pair of wings under your shirt-between these wannabe flyers and the real ones, they don't stand a chance of evading your camera.

Fantastic!

Jeffery Stahlman		16-Sep-2005 01:42
terrific capture

Elaine (etfitz)		16-Sep-2005 01:18
Great shot!

Robin Reid		16-Sep-2005 00:53
Brilliant POV. I am assuming you were atop Torrey Pines Cliffs? Great show!

Guest		16-Sep-2005 00:47
Great shot! But I gotta ask too....where were you that you caught this angle??

Pat Hemlepp		16-Sep-2005 00:39
OK, Herb. You've got some explaining to do. I checked the manual and the 20D doesn't have a hover mode. Was it a pier? A cliff? A hotel balcony? Or were you wearing your tights and cape under your street clothes and changed in a nearby phone booth? By the way, nice image.

jypsee		16-Sep-2005 00:37
Looks like you were on your own surfboard!

Hubert Steed		16-Sep-2005 00:11
Interesting and exciting photo... well done! Voting...

Now that looks like a lot of fun! I agree with Gary...fantastic POV!

Gary Winters		15-Sep-2005 23:30
LOVE the POV!

Great capture! Now, how'd you do this?

Awesome capture Herb.

Stu		15-Sep-2005 21:41
Excellent

Focus		15-Sep-2005 21:06
Nice job........water looks cold......great capture!

Dan Chusid		15-Sep-2005 20:53
Thank goodness the birds like you Herb. Are your wings getting tired yet? ;^)

Ian Clowes		15-Sep-2005 20:51
Go on gtell us - how did you do this - or are you hanging on to another one - looping overhead!?

Al Chesworth		15-Sep-2005 20:44
