Thanks everyone.

Robert, I am glad you thought it didn't suck. ;)

I try to plan my vacation to coincide with the Pipeline Master contest here in Hawaii and take the opportunity to take some non competition shots as well as shoot the competition #5203333

Between the blur and the rooster tail you really get the sence of speed David.
The color and composition are beautiful too. Nice work. #5211314
