  Magnificent action-shot, Rob, he can't win but I'm sure he'll probably survive, eh… I used to do this long ago in a galaxy far, far, away… These guys don't avoid these scenarios, they go looking for them. Very well done, my dear friend - your good friend, Allan

  Very nice shot, when I first got it in my email I thought it was a black & white shot with just the color in the kayak via software. But as I really looked at it I saw the color of the rock and the water and I said to myself now that is cool.
