This was taken at the Lake Champlain Dragonboat Festival. I've been fortunate enough to be one of the offical photogs the past couple of year. I was using a 300mm 2.8 with a 2x teleconverter.

Surprises me that this only came in at number 53. In my opinion it should have finished in the top20 at least, even in this very competitive field.
pS. I gave this a 10 during voting by the way.
Great action shot. Just a shame about the guy in the background top right isn't blurred by spray like the rest. Nothing you could do about that of course.
Wow! Fantastic. I love the frenetic action going on here. Great colors, spattering spray. The one rower's glasses have slipped halfway of his face but he has no time to even push them back on. Great choice of aperture with lovely out of focus background bokeh and sharp detailed frozen foreground action. 10
