    Nicely done! Action but without looking staged and, therefore, stale- if you know what I mean. It’s the clarity of the the paddler while none of the water is. Nicely unusual.

    THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN. WHAT WERE YOUR SETTINGS AND WHAT FILTERS DID YOU USE.

  • Marylee Pope replied

    Thank you!
    f/5.6
    ISO 64
    1/320 seconds
    Focal length 22mm

    Used a motion blurr filter in Corel to enhance motion effect. It had a blur in the original, but I enhanced it with the motion blur filter.
