Wonderful action shot Dennis #10074828Carla Capra Anderson April 04, 2012
This is an excellent action image. I enjoy the way you captured the skier, with all the visible signs of skill and exertion. The water wake and spray lead you in and emphasize his speed. Well done, Dennis. #10074883Dennis Gay April 04, 2012
