Is this too much sports/landscape compromise?
Thanks in advance,

Very nice Tim. I dont think there is too much compromise here. Don't know what was to the left but I think the comp would have been a bit stronger with the sail a little more to the right of the frame. Very pleasing overall image. Great view of the mountians.

Thanks OT. I don't think there is much to the left on the initial imag...

Hey while I got you on the line, I want to get a longer lens for the D70 (I only have the 18-70 kit). I've been waiting for Nikon's new DX lenses to come out. I've also read good things about the 18-200G, but I am wondering if it will be "heavy" compared the DX lenses. What do you have, and how do you like it? (I know you have quite a "family" there).

Thanks in advance,
Tim

At least to me, I think that this image is more of a landscape, and I love the formation on the right side, coupled with the depth of the horizon on the left. But I feel it leaves me wanting more. I think that since there is so much "landcape" in this, that it drowns out whats in the water, no pun intended!

I would def. call this a landscape shot and I think the kiteborder adds a lot of interest to the pic.

Thanks everybody for the comments. I think I'm stuck shooting these water sports landscape scenes until I get a longer lens (currently looking).

Best regards,
Tim

I would've liked to seen the sail more on the left, to balance out the busy, rock landscape. The colors are great, and they make everything pop. Nice going,
