Premium Photo Competition 2014 Q1 : Entry Number 85

A well performed "feel good" image and a man with a mission. Beautiful image.

Wow, how exciting - thanks. I'm a keen amateur. After a really LONG wait (and saving plan) I unboxed my M240 on Christmas day - the best camera I have owned by a country mile. We travelled to Noosa heads in Queensland Australia for a summer holiday. The time around sunset was wonderful - great light and plenty of relaxed fun times - it was a hard decision to take photos or to go for a surf! I was sitting on rocks watching and trying to learn how to focus a rangefinder and I liked the scene. I waited - and the couple frolicked in the waters edge and then the surfer ran across (excited to get some waves). A beautiful place. The lens is a Summilux 35mm 1.4 - I cropped it in LR5 and fixed a few levels - but not much. David Hunter-Smith
