This is a good entry for water play and best wishes in the contest. It appears they are really having fun. I would like to have seen it in color as well. This is lovely gray scale however.

    Welcome indeed.
Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn


I can feel the moment of the kayaks as they travel through the waves. The picture captures the excitement and companionship of these two people. It makes me want to join them on their adventures. Excellent visual and definitely worthy of being seen.

Excellent shot for the Water Play contest Brian!
Amazingly sharp throughout, the detail you've got is great.
Perfect composition, I like that you've taken it it in portrait rather than landscape (as many would) as it gives them plenty of space to move in to.
The flower on the right is a little distracting on the overall view, but perhaps less so than had it been in colour, but that's my only nitpick, and very minor!
Best of luck in the contest!
Charlotte

These look more like kayaks than canoes, either way, this is well captured to show the two people both with their paddles raised as they are moving through the water. They appear to be close to the waters edge as I see the overhanging branches with leaves.
Well rendered in black and white.
Well focused, clear image with good use of the light.
Nice grey tones.
Well composed and presented!

A charming photo in black and white. The interplay of light and shadow becomes is pronounced, creating a dramatic and evocative atmosphere matching the heroic action. Good luck!
