Congrats on the Spotlight with this amazing picture! The action is great and the shades of blue of the water and the curl is really fantastic! I'm now figuring out how you've taken this picture ... great angle!

@Betsy Barron: hi betsy,
many thanks for your comments. this shot was taken from a dinghy (small boat that is used to get to and from larger boats). We were positioned in the channel - motor running, in order to be able to escape freak sets..
cheers j.
