Description
This is my son, in his summer job. He's the man on the right, looking pleased and happy to be what he's doing. He doesn't tell me about some of the trips he does on, class 5's and knowing him, some pretty crazy stuff. Last summer he took a friend and me on a trip down the Truckee and we did a "spectacular" wipe-out that we still talk about. This kid is never going to work at a desk!!! (I don't have to ask why I have so much gray hair; he's been a daredevil since he was born, but by gosh, he LOVES life!!!)

Excellent Captures of this action
Oh Yeah ! Life Live It !
Excellent shot hon
Awesome shot. The sharpening is a bit overdone though.
great shot!
Wow! That's a National Geographic photograph, Marilyn. You captured the action so darn clearly I'm stunned. How did you do that in a raft in rough water?
This is an outstanding capture, Mailyn...the action caught here is perfect, as is the vivid color! I agree with ARTWITHIN, this is most definitely National Geographic quality! I love this image!
awesome fun shot.......=]
reallly cool . he love life
My dream before I die (just strap me to the raft and let 'er rip when I'm 90) is to do this on the Colorado River on a week long trip. I have an overwhelming attraction to white water. I've done the rafting down the American River here in Sacramento but our biggest white is a class 3 and that's in a very wet year. I love this shot. The exhileration just oozes from this.
Cool capture! very interesting post work!! and that's cool he lives life to it's fullest :-) have a great weekend! I do mails later though... have a very big one pending ahh chaos lol :)

Excellent capture my friend!!! 5+++
An excellent photographic capture, Marilyn! Mike
Excellent capture and action image !!
He looks like a body builder here Marilyn, very muscular, I'm not suprised though if he does this all day long, he'll soon build up arm muscle back paddling. Excellent capture, fantastic pov. Bravo!!!!!
Great action capture, Marilyn. Love how the water spray emphasized the movement and the fun of doing this.
Super splendid freeze frame capture of your daredevil son, bursting through the frothing water while challenging the rapids, Marilyn! He sort of looks like Darth Vader under that hood.
Great capture! He clearly is doing the sort of work he's meant to do. Nice!
Oh Marilyn - you have just woken the river rafting devil in me. It is definitely on my 'Things to do before...' list! Great shot - I love it!! xx
