Almost basic editing except I used color efex to add a slight vignette and adjusted the colors by isolating the greens and blues to make the water pop a bit more - pretty much the same settings used to stop birds in flight to freeze them.

I wish I was as good in PS as one comment suggests but then again, that would be a sure DQ (and cheating) for using expert editing in advanced.

Thanks for the votes and the comments - it was a fun week watching the score.

What a great moment and capture! Not detracting at all but this is where AF must really battle to decide what it must AF on!

The more I look at it, the more it bothers me. He just looks so photoshopped, into position.
If not the case, a more realistic shot may have been better. Although it has nice colour, comp,exposure and sharpness.
So to be fair, I may skip voting on this one.
