About the shot :
The sailor, Rainer, was coming into the finish line after a pretty full on day, in the final race of the Championships. Coming in downwind and on the trapeze, he'd just skimmed the water as he came down off his foils a split second earlier, sending a solid sheet of water up before it came down into him. He would have been moving at about 16 kts. I love the glasslike sculptural quality of image and the fact you can only just see him through the aquamarine Lake Garda water.
