Congrats Mark! It was showing Bob's hot looking backside that did it!

Congrats, Mark! I stood right next to you and took three shots of that same scene and your picture was definitely better than all of them. I was too far zoomed out, trying to get the "big picture" but your composition focuses in on just the important elements in the shot. Nice work! Jon

Wow! Thanks guys! I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

IMHO, Some of the other shots are just as worthy! :rockon:

Thanks Benny for holding this contest. :grouphug:

Mark, congratulations!

You captured a great moment to be sure, my very first cast into YOSEMITE water!
Would have REALLY been cool if I would have ACTUALLY caught that fish at the bottom of the pool!

As for more pictures of my butt, I will check Martha's camera, I am sure she has a few! :booty:

All the photos were worthy but you nailed that one, Mark. Color, composition, subject matter and spot on focus combined with being in the right place at the right time. Well done.
