No editing, no photoshop, this is straight out of the camera from my sunrise swim this morning. After two seasons of housing problems, out of focus shots, wrong lenses, WATER SPOTS!!, a third back surgery last March (fusion), six months out of the water recovering, and training in the pool, I finally got the shot I have visualized for years, this morning. Endless mornings getting up at dark, checking waves, busted sessions, etc. Keep your standards high, never quit, stay stoked.

Awesome shot and great story. Glad to hear you achieved your wish. I hope none of those 'housing problems' resulted in wet gear!
