Great capture. I'd like to see it with a tighter crop, less foreground water (which is lovely, but doesn't tell the story as well as narrowing in on the boater's hand/boat).
Your title says one thing, but the kayaker says another. For me, I have seen many a rider roll in the water, even in water a bit ruff as this. For me there isn't that emotion of panic, I guess for those not used to it there may be. I don't care for the near center placement and would have liked more of the river to see how dangerous it really was.
No kidding! that is a real emotional response! i like how you captured the person's hand fighting for their life - the spray of the water really adds a good kinetic feel to the image
Meets the challenge exceptionally well. That's the right title. It's an extreme sport. And, must be lots of adrenal rush with panic attacks. One of my favorites in this challenge. An easy (10).
