 Could not think of a better place for this challenge than the beach at sunset. Millions of tiny light reflections on the water. The wind was very good this weekend and the beach was full of kite surfers but this guy was the only one surfing between the sun and me.

Hope the bokeh is clear enough for the voters. Maybe it's time for me to buy that teleconverter i've been thinking about...

PP: Convert from RAW, levels, curves, selective colors, photo filter, crop, usm, add border, save for web.
