coronamv knew exactly who it was. Excelent call. EJ was facing his camerman for a new Kayaking video. He left his paddle on the rocks and was having fun at 1800 cfs in "the hole" So I got a the back shot. Thanks for the comments Van

These are hard shots to capture. You've done really well, but his face would be a crowning touch.

I kept hoping someone would get a kayaker! Too bad you couldn't get the front, still a great action shot.

My only suggestion is something that you couldn't control...I would like to see at least a profile, preferably 3/4 of the face. There is no emotion communicated here. Are his (I hope it's a guy) arms out in excitement, joy, fear, asking for help...as his oar is obviouly missing? See what I mean?!

Great colors. Is this zoomed in or oversharpened? Something looks a little off grainy or off-focus.
