    Kite Surfers

    Went down to the seafront the other day just after the very high winds; the kite and wind surfers were having a field day as although the very high wind had abated there was still a very strong southwesterly coming off the channel.

    A cornucopia of kites. There are 17 kite surfers alone in this pic!

    Interesting set, not my kind of sport even if I wasn't far too old, but you have shown it and described it well

        They're rather good particularly the trio.

        Small niggle on the C&C front is that they have been rather over-sharpened as there is some strong white haloing visible on the flickr versions which does let them down a touch... I'd dial the sharpening back a bit in future.

            Thank you everyone for the comments, they are appreciated. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on the sharpening.

            Kite surfing (or even sailboarding for that matter) is not a sport that I have done or even been tempted with but its good to watch and is a good photographic subject.
