Wow 2nd I didn't expect that considering all of the really excellent photos that were entered.

The position I was in at the time was somewhat precarious - I was a bit concerned that the nearby hippos would become just a little to nearby and didn't have time to arrange or plan the shot simply just point and hope for the best . I agree that the silhoutte of the figure could have been better defined I did play around with the image in Paint Shop Pro for a bit but I always ended up prefering the original image straight out of the camera, I even manged to get it horizontal which is quite unusual for me
Thanks again.
