Some of the more than one thousand competitors in the annual Mission Bay Triathlon start the three-event competition by swimming in San Diego’s Mission Bay. It seems like there’s a race of some kind in San Diego most every weekend most of the year, so making a different kind of photo is the challenge. When Mother Nature cooperated by providing the dramatic sunrise, all I had to do was wait for the swimmers as they went by the boat ramp I was standing on along with a lot of the family and friends. I added a little flash fill for good measure. After that, it was just like shooting fish in a barrel.Howard Lipin

Hey - this is my wave! I loved this photo, saw it first on the Union-Tribune Flickr site. Sadly, did not notice the sunrise at all when in the water, glad you captured it in the photo.
