Going down the hole

A kayak guy shoots down a class 5 rapid on the Kern river only to find the mother of sink holes. With gravity against him the force of the water around him sucks him down. f 11@16.

    Very nice and crisp action shot. You seem to almost be in the water yourself right in front of him.

    You captured the best frame in the rough and wild of a rapid. Great Work, worthy of publication.

    awesome shot. I love how he's just emerging out of everything, it really captures just how much he's surrounded by the water.

    This picture is a total story. The will of man against the power of the element. Great timing, great moment in the story. Looking at this I'm sure it's only a fraction of second where there is no story. graviety wins and man is lost forever.
    Kudos glenn

    This brings an element of fear, and excitement. I see what you saw. You give a new meaning to nature. I want to read and safe our vanishing land from industry. You do see sacred things.
