Arrived at the beach with about 4 minutes of sunlight left in the day, managed to get this shot, pretty happy with it!

That goes on the wall!

We do a Bowie calendar for friends and family (it's a great motivation to take photos). We were ready to send it to the printers, but last night we dropped this photo in for May.

So yeah, it'll be on about 35 walls 😃

Great shot, beautiful colour separation, well frozen action, even the composition is quite good for such a dynamic shot.

Thanks! We really did have just a couple of minutes before the sun dropped below the horizon. My partner, Bowie, and I sprinted to the beach to get the shot :)

From there I leave it to the autofocus and burst mode and hope I have one keeper.

That is an amazing photo. I feel like you need to enter it into an animal photo comp. If nothing else, print and frame it.
