Nice capture. Good composition, I like the spray from the boogie board.

Steve is right...that was last years effort.

I mis-framed the reflection in the water.

I didn't notice until days later...
That would have solidified the shot.

I am working on some wild gator shots to share I did that trip as well.

Will try again in August, and this time bring a tripod.

Hey OLDEKID...hows about lettin' me use that lens for a few weeks man....:D:rolleyes:

Nice shot Barry! I thought the same thing about the reflection. I said DOH!! So close! Hey, what file format do you shoot in? Do you use the raw setting or just the fine jpeg? I have found it more difficult to review pics on the computer when shooting in raw. The .nef files are big and don't even show up unless you have paint shop pro or similar.

Nice shot Barry!.

That is a great shot Barry. You have an excellent eye for photography. I just "point and shoot". The spray off Gage's board is super.

5 years in and I still am shy to shoot RAW. My Nikon Capture NX software works RAW just like Photoshop CS, but I am still shy. One of these days...I just need to upgrade my 4gB memory card to an 8gB to handle the size difference.

BTW: The website WindowsPowerToys offers a free RAW viewer for Windows. I have never tried it however.

I'll bring Zack, some duct tape, and a box of assorted parts and HE'LL MAKE IT WORK. :P

AND...it'll make 40 hp to the rear booya!

Yeah, my computer has been sick for a few days with more trojans than a frat party. Our laptop could not even view the raw files. I will check out that raw viewer you mentioned. Thanks for your help!
