Wow. I'm amazed you could get this close. When I first saw this I assumed you were using a much longer lens. You're right, they really must have been preoccupied :-). Great capture.

Good capture, but a tighter crop could produce a more appealing composition.

Nice picture. I would have cropped a bit off from the left side.

Incredible detail. Good action shot (I guess :-)
Please take a look at the three opinion polls in the Forums under 'Site Talk'. They are only open for another three days. Even a vote for 'No Opinion' or 'None of the above' would be helpful. Thanks.
