•  Support - I wasn't sure at first that this would be special enough to feature, but I think it is. I love the motion that's captured by this picture (captured much better than in that Bierstadt painting, by the way), the exhilaration visible on the boy's face at full size, and I enjoy moving my eyes around the picture frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:29, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Great juxtaposition of the sea green and the earthy sand. I love the pose ... like he's offering himself to the sea gods or something. Daniel Case (talk) 18:25, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

• Please see this and this, Daniel Case. In the Portuguese-style bull fighting, it is called "pega de caras", which means taking the bull face to face. Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:36, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

@Alvesgaspar: The same sort of bravado in the face of an overwhelming natural force ... Daniel Case (talk) 21:54, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

• @Daniel Case: Precisely. The little but critical difference is that the wave doesn't get hurt in the end (I hate bull fighting)! Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:22, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
