This shot was taken at Dalyan, on the south-west coast of Turkey. This lady had just come out of therapeutic mud bath and she wanted me to take her photograph before she jumped into the lake. I took this image with a fast shutter speed to capture her in mid-air. I loved the smile on her face and the way she jumped - It showed that her age was insignificant. For me, she was the hero of the day. This picture is special because it was one of the most funny moments of my life. Picture taken on holiday. Photo taken by ALPAY ERDEM (Türkiye) - Holidays/Events

I?d gong to Nickerson Beach with the intention of using the magic hour light.
