He doesn't look happy having that big lens pointed at him!

[Poppo Livy]

@pamknowler I wasn't happy either for a different reason viz it wasn't my lens

[Poppo Livy]

@pamknowler He's very laid back and I'm sure it didn't concern him at all.

[Dianne]

Great image.

[Poppo Livy]

@gigiflower What? No comment on John John Sam?

[Sam]

@terryliv Who cares about the young ones!

[Poppo Livy]

@gigiflower Me? :-)

[Sam]

@terryliv Sad!!!!

[Denis]

Great shot. Did he just find a surf board? And was caught on camera?

[Merrelyn]

Do I sense lens envy, Terry :)

[Sarah Munnings]

can't take my eyes off that ....................... lens!!!!

[Peter]

What a great perspective, focus and composition Terry, tells the story of John John always in the spot light:)

[Taffy]

Great story in this shot -- and fun to read your thread too.

[Tony]

Postcard capture, bet lots of young women are envious of you.

[Babs]

looks like a classic surfer. Wow, what a lens.
Enough to give the photographer a hernia.

[Poppo Livy]

@onewing I'd love such a hernia

[Babs]

@terryliv ha ha, glutton for punishment.

[Denise Wood]

Terrific :)

[Rachel]

I love the lens! He's not too bad looking either...

[Poppo Livy]

@888rachel Hooray!!! One of the ladies finally has the nerve to admit it. @gigiflower went all puritan on me; @gilbertwood was very coy and @pixiemac bailed out at the last second

[Sam]

@terryliv I've never been called a "puritan" before HAHAHAHAHA!

[Ron]

At that distance the (big lens) photographer was either zeroing in on another surfer in the water or one of John John's obviously perfect pores.
