 Wotever August 2010 SC - Day 16. This is my 66 year old father water skiing. Age has really slowed him down! He water skis once a week during the summer and has been water skiing since he was 17 years old. He's always been able to jump the wake of the boat, which impressed me as a young child and continues to impress me to this day. I can water ski fairly well after growing up doing it myself (I first water skied when I was five), but I've never been able to jump the wake. I'm too cautious on skis.

I thought I'd try some different with the processing of this shot. In the painted like feel, I like that you can still see my dad's mouth wide open while in the air.

Great story to go along with some cool processing. There's still a lot of detail visible

That's some crazy processing! And good for him to still be enjoying the things he enjoys with such gusto!
