THE PHOTO:
1005 athletes set-off on the 2007 NZ Ironman competition the morning at 7am, with the start being a 3.8km swim in Lake Taupo.

POST-PROCESSING:
Low gray light didn’t help with getting good shots, but I have enough to intersperse with other photos over the next week. This one was a tight tilted crop, duplicate layer set to multiply blend, curves and layers.
