Hi Folks
was at Rother Valley Sheffield Taking Pictures of a Hovercraft racing event when a guy with a point and shoot camera calmly said 'will your camera reach that far'
Looking up to where he was pointing I quickly rattled a few frames off at it

did not realize it had a fish in its mouth till I saw it on the PC screen
its fairly heavily cropped, but considering the circumstances I was pretty pleased with this one
Cheers Chris

Cracking capture, but on my screen it looks like a cardboard cut out! Not sure why.

Well captured. Now is it just me... or does that fish look decidedly dodgy? :naughty:

well done for "catching" that,i think the fish looks dodgy because its probably been dead for a while.
if it wasnt then,it will be by now:lol:

Thanks for the comments folks
Can you fish/wildlife experts tell me how the fish looks 'dodgy'??
I could not tell if its dead or alive
one thing for sure it sure will be now LOL

here is another one cropped differently
