    Nice!
    As a former white water rafter (6+ all over ex-USSR, MVP) I can definitely appreciate those shots. Nice work!thumb.gif
    As a piece of advice: shots can look more dramatic if you manage to position yourself down the stream but at a relatively high vantage point. It not always possible (terrain, light, etc.), but with all things being equal - that's a winning position.
    Good job anyways!

    Nevermind my comments in the other thread about these photos, You addressed pretty much every note I had in it. I really like this set :-)
