And would that worthy gentleman be you, perhaps? Great action capture. I guess you survived it since you posted the photo. The rising up looks fun. The decent could be a luo-lou. The water is a beautiful natural color but has a lot of grain in it. A free program called Neat Image would do wonders for the water and the sky. Just type in Neat Image in your browser and you'll find it. Easy to use. Other than the grain, very nice work.
