Hey, this is a pretty nice pic! In fact, come to think of it, you can probably sell it on a microstock photography website like the ones I listed below, under the children search listing. Photos of children are big hits on microstock sites. I have been working on selling my own photos, and have several that were just listed the other day. It is a pretty cool system: companies can cut costs for photos by buying them from microstock sites rather than paying their own photographers, and you get paid every time an individual or company buys your photo(s). The signup for these kinds of accounts is free, and you get a cut of the pay. (the only reason it is free to register with them is because they take a portion of every sale.) Also, when a company buys your photo, they don't get the copyright, so they have to buy it a whole bunch of times, once for every time they use it! The photos never leave the microstock site, and will earn you passive income every time they sell for years to come.

Sorry for terribly slow reply
Thanks for the kind comments.
In regards to the questions on how the photo was taken...Just as you say tigz54, used a waterproof case which I bought from Cannon made specifically for the camera (however there are some cheaper, more universal cases available). Oh and also flippers and wetsuit helped

i am also wondering how you got this shot. while your friend looks great on the board, i couldn't imagine being out in the water and focusing enough to get a shot like this. ... niiice

yeah great shot. just out of curiosity how did you take this shot (logistically)? just swimming in the water with a waterproof case ?

the clarity of the water is deff my fave part,
as well as the guy on the board,
but it would have been nice to see the original photo,
i think maybe the editing takes a bit away from your wicked photography skills,
but of course, it's incredible anyway :]
