My wife rarely lets me take her photo. She finally gave in and now I've got one of my favorite portraits yet.

Sweet sunset light, winning smile, a bit of movement and a lovely subject enjoying one of her favorite sports just weeks before a MAJOR birthday. :D

    Awesome! Love how relaxed she looks. Like "Yeah... that's right. I can do this all day."

    She does have that look. It's actually quite tiring, but this was the last run for the week on our week long vacation of water skiing. The lake turned quite calm and the sun started going down. She was just relaxing and enjoying one last ride.

    Thanks, Diva. With my three kids, I actually shoot a lot more sports than portraits lately. This one struck me as a sportrait. mwink.gif

    Everything just came together here perfectly. The scene combined with her expression of pure joy makes this a real winner.

    Get her to sign a release, bet this would sell on a stock site!
