Windsurfing - Hayling Island (1)

Windsurfing - Hayling Island (1)
With a few hours to kill before starting work I drove to Hayling Island on a windy and miserable day. I found these windsurfers out racing - their sails really stood out and reminded me of colourful butterflies. I've desaturated the background a little, but it didn't take much as it was already pretty grey.

Please view large, on black.

A great composition, Keith with your manipulation of the image working very well.
I often wonder why people go out fighting the elements, when they could be at home enjoying themselves!

Thanks Neil..........I didn't have to do much manipulation.......the surroundings were already pretty grey and the surfers were the only colour around..!!

I often wonder why I was out photographing them fighting the elements..!!
