poopoorama  Pro User  says:

Wow! Thanks everyone for the great response!

Poppa-D - I didn't do anything too fancy with the post processing. I just did some basic exposure tweaks for highlight recovery and more solid blacks, dropped the saturation on the colors to get the bleached look, and adjusted the tone curve to get more contrast. Not much to it. Most of this is in the actual shooting. Single strobe to the right, circular polarizer on the lens to even out the sky and water, and manual settings all across the board.

It's okay... if you're into that sort of thing... I guess... sorta... LOL ;)

Great shot. Colors play nicely off each other and the angle sells the action really well.

OK, this is insane!!! I'm just looking at Flickr for the first time today, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of activity on this photos. :) Thank you, everyone, so much for stopping by!

taminsea and Trigger_Happie - Thanks! When are you two going to do some jump shots? You know you want to. I'll help light the shots, too. ;)

Angelallea - LOL! Awesome!

Giulio Bassi - No HDR. Just a single flash on a stand to the right of the camera.

TurboSpaz - I try to be childish as much as possible. ;)

Again, thanks all!
