Description "This shot is taken at Christmas time, at Heraklion, Crete. I had wandered to the sea wall looking for my next shot. The moment I saw the man with the bicycle and the Santa Claus balloon, I knew that that was going to be my next photo. I just waited for the right moment. I was very lucky that he went and stood exactly where the biggest waves were. I took the shot a moment before a wave stroked him and made him wringing wet."

Intense. Perfect timing and technique - it actually looks surreal with the santa claus balloon.

So I guess this one's gonna get a Daily Deviation in a couple weeks, too, lol.

Not to say it'd be undeserving, though. It is a great capture. I like how you have to look at it for a little bit to understand what's going on. And the wave is captured superlatively.

Great capture! At first sight I thought you manipulated the christmas man in this photo, but now I read that it's a balloon!!
