This guy maybe in second place in the race but he has form. Another nice shot.

@Michael Rawluk: Thanks Michael!! I do wish I had a longer lens for these shots... would've made them much better.

@Jen: Thank you thank you thank you.... I do have to admit with all humility (she says with tongue in cheek) that I am pretty proud of these ones.

Roberta from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

This reminds me of the Road Runner cartoon - the outstetched neck, the legs running really fast behind the body......

@Roberta: Perfect analogy Roberta!! LOL

Laurie from New Jersey, United States

Wow! Cool shot. I love the action.

@Laurie: Just wish these shots could better portrait their actions... guess only video could do that justice. Thanks so much Laurie!

Behrooz from Tehran, Iran

Very cool shot at 450mm, Amy. These kinda small wide frames are becoming your stamp on the pictures. Keep your style. You are doing just wonderful.

Cool action shot Amy!

Sashmo Au.go.go from Adelaide, Australia

You got it in perfect form there, Amy. The ripples of water give it a competitive feel, the likes of which I haven't seen since the Bad News Bears put their cleats on.*

* On what? You may well ask.

@Sashmo Au.go.go: Yeah, the Bad New Bears!!! Great analogy actually. But are we talking the old (with Walter Mathau) or the new (with Billy Bob)?

Thanks Dude!! You always make it so much fun!
