Instead of first seeing this shot here, I would have expected to first see it on a magazine cover! Outstanding is not enough a good enough description.

This is really remarkable Richard. If you haven't already done so I'd submit this for the Nature's Best annual photo competition. I think you'd have a good chance of winning one of the categories.
