Hello Doyle, it's a very well composed picture. I also think you captured some splendid reflections and metallic colour tones on the water (I can see both cobalt and golden colour tone), I like it very much. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Peppino.

very nice image Doyle..... the sun rising on the bay toning it with shadows and reflections . I like the composition and the SF bay area !!!! It's a bit of a peaceful emotion before the 800 swimmers start up !!!
Best Wishes,
Michele~

I'm impressed at 115th place out of 800 and being over 50 yrs. sounds like he did very well ! Had to celebrate that part too right :))

Hello Doyle,
great shot with amazing high points. The colors, tones and reflections are really good, and everybody above agrees. Great! Well done!
But what catched up my attention when I saw your picture (note: before I read your about) was the little gull. I had the impression that he was following the lifeguard.
Good work! Thanks to wait a few seconds before you pressed the button. 
Best wishes,
Renato

Thanks Sheila . . . it was -- if you will -- the calm before the storm. Lifeguard duty with 800 swimmers racing across the San Francisco Bay . . . I could think of better things to do . . . Oh wait, I DID . . . I was taking pictures!!
