Kim, figure out your exposure for this kind of lighting situation. The water is really blown out. It is best to take a gray card reading if you can match the light hitting the kayaker. Next, take this back to photoshop and use auto-color. It will give it the natural color it needs. Do not use Velvia. It will always go blue unless you have strong sunshine, which will really blow out your water even further. Use Provia F100 or F400 which is pretty much the rule for outdoor sports. But sometimes you still have to use auto color to get the color correct, especially with surfing on the ocean and sunny, hazy days.

Thanks for taking a look, everyone... I really like the impact of the criss-crossing water. Becky... we'll just have to go back and try some more! Pender Harbour here we come!

You know, for only a 1/60 shutter speed, the top third of this photo is really sharp! I also applaud the amount of detail you captured on the kayaker on such a dark day. I think my favourite part about this photo, though, is how the water criss-crosses the shot three times - it's a nice natural lead for the eye. Wish my pics had turned out as well! ;)

Great capture, Kim - especially given the rotten conditions you were faced with! Great job getting the kayaker sharp and in depicting the chaos around him - it looks as though he's got crashing water coming at him from just about every direction!
I would kind of like to see a little more room to the left of kayak - giving it somewhere to go as it crashes through that wave, although the composition you chose probably shows more of the turbulence than a landscape orientation would have. Looks chilly!!
