wave

And to show his dedication to his mama, he stood for this wave without flinching, getting wet to his knees! thankfully I got the shot! a bit blurry perhaps (meets the bokeh requirement ) and was tilted and underexposed so i have edited this one a bit

Great shot love the blur

Fabulous shot.

[Richard Sayer]

I underexposed nearly every shot - it adds depth and drama...IMHO!

@vignouse yes i must say i usually go one or two stops under, but in this case the metering may have been the culprit, tricky into the setting sun.

[Taffy]

A very good offspring to do that! And wonderful result with the surf.

[Helen Jane]

creates a shot with great atmosphere and solemnity.

ps - I have just read your challenge It think this fits really well.

What a brave son to stand in the face of the crashing waves. He must have a little something of the sea in his soul. The blur is beautiful and the exposure is wonderfully atmospheric. I especially like how his reflective silhouette partakes ever do subtly in the golden glow left by the sun upon the water, as if the glow, too, is within him. Such a wonderful capture including all the elements of the challenge!
