This shot was pure luck .... I just happened to be in the
right place at the right time. This young fellow had spotted
a large starfish in one of our inland waterways. He promptly
jumped in and grabbed it .... spent a few minutes checking it
out and then thoughtfully let it go. Afterward, I was able
to get his email address so I could later send him the photo.

Fantastic shot, one of those ones that happen serendipitously and you were there to capture it. So glad he let the starfish go. V

Wonderful. The photogenic young man was probably delighted. This is my favourite kind of shot
