Comment from Sorin Fota
Interesting shot but too crowded. Not only the buildings in the background, but also the boat on the left and the sea mark (buoy) on the right. The subject is barely visible with the surf almost invisible. Frame too lighted too. in my opinion a tight crop will do better

At first glance I thought that was a helicopter up in the sky and then I read your notes. A great capture, don't know where you were stood to get it, well done

A colorful view with the city in the background, a hint of the sea, focused and framed to show the windy details.

Comment from DavidP
Boy did this guy get air born! Bet he's wondering if he's going to come back down or continue up! ha That would scare me to death but then I wouldn't get out there anyway. Nice shot with the sailboat behind the wind surfer and the city of Cannes in the background. A great stop action photo.

Fred,
A great stop action picture of the Kite Surfer hanging in mid air, in the Thumb Nail I thought she was a Bird! Stupid me. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques & sharp focus through out to show the beauty of Cannes behind the Kite Surfer.

Comment from Capture This
Interesting subject here. Never saw one kite surfing. Looks like he was sky diving and just before he hit the water surface. Great angle and focus on the subject here! Nicely composed with the title missing the sky in the picture!!

many thanks;
yes, the sky is still very far away; lol; therefore it was obvious not to sow it

Comment from Lmsmith
Beautiful place, the colors are vibrant, lighting is good. Very nice composition. Quite an impact when I first saw the picture. I would never do this.

Great photo and I like the way you can not see his/her kite. I sat and watch these at a beach in Westerner Australia where the wind was roaring and you would need ever strength available to hold it all together. Not a bad boat in the background either. sandy
