Friday Bay sunset--Crooked Lake

I'm guessing this won't count for your contest since it wasn't in the BW or Quetico, but it is a canoe in Northern MN so I thought it was an interesting shot to share. It was at Gold Point yesterday morning on Lake Superior. Shot with a Minolta 7D with a 80-200mm 2.8. Exposure was 3.5 at 1/640 of a sec. I missed the focus and tried sharpening the guy though it appears a bit oversharpened to pull it off. The canoe is a used Unity from Stewart River (which he is selling). It got a bit choppy close to the cliffs and the paddler was extremely impressed how it handled.
