This works really well in b/w...lots of interesting details in the water!

Great capture of the spray and the action, nice and crisp! The B&W accentuates the "man vs. nature" challenge of it all.

Great subject for b&w, the light on the water is spectacular. Not sure I'd brave that current, race or no race ;o)

Practice?!?! I'll give up now if this is what appears before people practice ;)
Great capture, a real sense of energy.

Doesn't look like you need practise from where I'm sitting ;-)
Great shot, love the frozen spume!

Great shot Sheila, 133 Km, that's a long paddle, good job it's not upstream.
