I'm humbled by you all's comments on this image, 1st I thought no one thought much of it, back lit and all, but, to keep this Surfer in frame with a 600mm Lens, (think watching football through a drinking straw.........) so I shared it with you all, just wish Fred's sponsers would take notice!! Mahalo to you all for your generous comments. Mike R #818303
