This is a stunning photo, quite unlike any other I have seen; at first glance it could be a painting. The catchlights (not obvious in this scan but leaping out of the print) on the shoulder of the canoeist and his ear, and the water droplets falling from the paddle, oddly make him seem like an etching superimposed onto the painting.
Mike commented on his note to me that he would have liked the canoeist to be paddling into the picture rather than out of it, but looked at from a distance he could be entering the picture, and only on closer inspection is it clear that he is going away, so it doesn't trouble me as much as it normally would. Mike notes in his defence that, whilst canoeing, opportunities for reflective composition are limited.
Technically the print is faultless, and deservedly won a valuable prize in Mike's Canoe Club photographic competition.

Thanks for the kind comments. The other kayaker (canoes/canoeing are generally to do with the open Canadian boats - it took me a couple of years to get my head round that one) is a 'she' as are the majority of members of Snowdonia Canoe Club with whom I paddle.
