    a) I didn't realize there was a contest
    b) Yes - I'm sooooo glad you're not competing in it!

    I guess I need to start reading sticky posts more carefully.

    This is awesome. The birds sure were chowing down out there!

    :)

    Great timming Maxis, great light too, I would try to tone down the whites but either way, it is a fenomenal shot! Congratulaitons!

    Nice timing! Did he come up with a fish, or was this a miss? Great job anticipating the action and ensuring that you had enough room to the right for the strike and water spray...gotta love the fast shutter speed catching all those water drops too. Nice work!

    Agree with everyone Maxis another winner but would expect nothing less, great action shot and hope some day to be at one of these GTG's.

    Hey Maxis. Gotta love the splash action here. I would've been great if I had my waterproof camera under the surface of the water at the time you clicked the shutter.

    Ditto here... we had a great time joining you and Marina for safari and multiple meals. :cool:
