Might crop some off the top to focus my attention on him in the waves.

Another great capture. Do you mind sharing your setup for shooting these?

Hi all and thanks for the nice comments.

@ SJMD: I rarely crop the spray that the individual makes, thus the high crop. Occasionally, I edit out extraneous bodies, but here I felt like they added to the energy of the shot.

@ Jacob: Thanks. I use a 1D2, 135L w/ Sigma 1.4x @ 4.0 & 400 ISO...vary between 1/1000 and 1/6400 depending on how the sun is (or isn't)

Greg

Understand about the crop and the spray, but if I scroll I can crop off just above the second head and get most of the spray but eliminate the top 5 people.

But a great shot. Thanks for letting me look and comment.

How deep is the water below him. It appears I can see sand right below the surface.

Nice catch, Greg. I agree with your crop choice - gotta have the top of the spray pattern.
That smile might be a scream

but I like your title.

Water below him? Nah, that's sand.
