Thank you both for your nice comments. This picture was made with a Canon EOS D30 camera and a Sigma 50-500 tele lens at 500mm, mounted on a tripod. Shot from shore at a distance of about 100yds or so. If you'd like to see more of my "action" pics, please visit http://www.bgcp.com.

Bob, this is a truly fantastic image - the composition, lighting, ...well everything, is absolutely spot on - very well done, if I may say so! Thanks Mark. #1013
