Ecstasy
Another shot from a couple of weeks ago, there seems to be a real tenderness between this pair. The waves crashing over them as they both close their eyes reminds me of a Hollywood movie.

All C&C welcome.

Nikon D3 with 600/F4. 1/1600th sec. F4 ISO 400. EV 0.

A tender moment indeed. The bull looks as if hes smiling :biggrin: The surf gives it a really nice feel and the OOF mush at the front lends a romantic touch. :wavey: :toast: :jump:

Lovely POV and moment recorded. The background is lovely too.

Very nice and great action and interaction captured, however I am going to buck the trend a little here and say that I am not a fan of the 'mush' here (shock... horror) and think that a slightly higher viewpoint might have been advantageous, but that really is minor and personal.

Great shot. Love it but I think a bit less sharpening would be even better.
