 This is a shot of a wakeboarder on a cableski rig.
It was late afternoon, and the sun was providing a good back-lighting setup.

Good but not GREAT...

So I had to wade through freezing cold water (these wakeboarders are committed - hats off to you guys!), and climb a perspex sheeted ramp (slip and slide and cling to camera for dear life!) to get a better angle.
Even so, I had to do some extreme curves and levels to get the picture I had "pictured".
