Ah, nothing like a dragon boat race to get the blood up. Excellent POV and a decision to fill the frame bring this scene to life. Like.

Thanks, Andy. With the rain and the splashing, most of the competitors were pretty wet but the only ones that went for a swim were the crew of the boat that won the last heat. Their celebration was a little over-exhuberant, to the slight irritation of the organisers who took a little while to recover the capsized boat and empty it of water for the final.
Regards,
Mike
