Great subject, lighting, and just the right distance. As a desktop it reminds me to "go that extra mile". ;) Again, I'm very impressed with your water shots.
School crew hmm, taken from Hoddle Bridge p'raps? Ive often seen some of 'em swooshing past from the side. The shimmer adds extra elegance. Almost the same concept as "Range Race Start" tho this makes a better wallpaper, with bits of 'quiet' space for the icons. Image-wise, both are equally bewitching.
Can't get much better than this. REALLY impressed with this photo. Excellent capture, details, lighting, subject matter, tremendous sensation even to simply view this photo. Congratulations!
