Thanks for the comments. No, it wasn't hazy actually, but the sunlight
coming from the back coloured the scene. I had to wait for the surfer to
come into the frame together with the sun, so there was quite some timing
involved. All other shots made of this surfer show him standing on the
board, however they looked a bit less attractive, the sail was to straight
up, and the sun was somewhat higher. A little later it was all over, the sun
was gone and so was the beauty of the moment. I had to crop the picture to
get the framing I wanted, I didn't had my 1.7 teleconverter at the time of
the shot yet.
