 With the rain from the remnants of Ernesto, the Tohickon Creek rose to a fun level. Instead of grabbing my boat, I grabbed my kayak and hiked down to this playspot, The Green Monster.

The Front Loop is essentially a forward flip where the boater land upright in the hydraulic. It's a pretty nasty move.

Space Cadet is the style of boat.

That's why I'm not a kayaker...and probably why some people are! :) Great job freezing the motion!

The wave going across the center of the frame gives me a more centered feel than ROT. Looks like a fun day on the river and this is a nice capture.6

Nice use of ROT and you couldn't have timed that shot any better. The color really stands out well.
