Brought a smile to my face! Great freeze action which is always so much harder to achieve when the subject is running towards you! I love the water trail behind him and the direct gaze towards the viewer,

Nice light and low angle Stuart. Love the action all round, water splashes, wing flaps and running feet well captured.
