"This shot was taken as a part of preparing Martin Potocny, one Slovak canoe paddler, to go to Olympic games to London. Marcel was paddling before he start walk. In december 2010 hi lost a finger on his right hand. Everybody believe that is the and of his passion. But he didn't give up. His brother bring him the padle to the hospital and support him every day with his family. With his plastic finger he now fighting for the place on London Olympic games 2012. He is a strong person, big fighter, enthusiastic and that is what i see on this picture. Picture was taken in Bratislava water canoe canal used A700 + 80-200mm lens + 5 flashes to cross the light with sun."
