Many thanks for all your comments on my last upload very much appreciated.

Another from the Canoe slalom at the weekend different gate set right in a sinker area of the course. There was a few capsied incidents at this point as the less experience got caught out by the water and change of direction but not this guy.

Thanks for looking

Regards Richard

Very nice shot, bit of a shame about the pole hanging down but it certainly doesn't detract from the quality of the photo, love it!

Thanks Matt now where you are coming from but with out the pole you would lose the reason for the action.

Indeed the pole is all part of what it's about, and you have captured that look of concentration and determination on his face so well, and the action generally in so crisply.

This is what action photography is all about, composed perfectly, exposed perfectly, timed perfectly, DoF perfect, focal point perfect ... in fact total perfection!

Super action shot - like the moment you've chosen (when the rower turn his canoe around the bar sign) - great expression on his face

The canoe has disappeared under the churning water which shows the effort required in this turn. Great action shot. In an ideal world the pole would be just off the body but you've caught the moment very well.
