    Tourists on the Spido tourboat being surprised by the watertaxi!




    This is my school run 45km/h over the water, very very exciting ! In this case the pilot of the watertaxi encircled the tour boat two times very close by, leaving dozens of amazed tourists!

    Needs a bit of a sharpen, maybe a bump more contrast. Also I'd boost the colours in LAB

    One more major issue - how the f*** do you expect us to compete with that. Amazing Image.

    Thanks, guys. The funny thing about it is that it's kind of dumb luck that it even happened. The other night I stayed up all night working on my magazine project and once morning rolled around, I headed out to try to find a photo location in the area of a friend's place who's car I'm going to be shooting. I went out to just grab some snap shots of locations and I stumbled across this location decided I might as well grab some shots of the scenery itself. I was very surprised with how nice it turned out given the circumstances and such.

    And thanks to those who voted for my shot in the previous contest. Feels good to win a general comp, especially with how nice all of the entries have been.

    Congrats on the last comp. Very close within the top 3.

    And as it turns out you'll be winning the second in a row before long.
