Surf's up!

Cougee Beach, Sydney Au. Winter surf is up crashing against the rocks, undeterred a few exuberant local youth try their mettle against the power of the sea. A place we cannot remain long as unwelcome guests.

Just about to leap, to join his compatriots who have already committed to the foamy brine.

That's a nice Man and Nature story, Tom. Even though the figure is small it definitely commands your attention. The small amount of sunlight on that wave adds a lot. Even in my youth I wasn't that crazy.

If it were mine, Tom, I'd crop out everything above the wave which doesn't really add to the story. I think it would be a more powerful image.
Crazy exuberants!
