Riding on Fire

On new year's day 2007, I shot this image in Santa Cruz, California

near the lighthouse, an area called the Steamer's Lane, which is a

popular area for surfers. The orange bottom of the surf board

reflects back to the wave so that it looks orange/red.

I love this pic! From the reflection as noted to the milky foam...well done!

An image filled with energy, even though the surfer is placed near the middle of the image, which many say makes the mood more tranquile.  Beautiful colortones, that make me think this water is really, really cold.  An image that makes me happy I have photography as a hobby and not surfing!  ;)

Thanks for sharing.

Shun, that's a great image. 

My girlfriend saw this on my screen and said, Wait, that's a picture? She stared in amazement. Then our 3-year-old came over and gaped at it for about fifteen seconds, which is about two minutes in toddler time,  and said, That's cool! So you did pretty good. I couldn't help --defending my manhood -- point out the lens costs like 7 grand. It's still just an amazing photograph.
