Fight Club!

[Lizardqing]

Went out to the swamp this morning since I wound up not having to work to check it out. Had planned on trying to catch a sunrise but the fog was so thick there was no sun till it was well up in the sky. While trying to get a shot of a pretty large wood pecker without having much luck I had a big crashing noise all of a sudden behind me. I turned around and happened to catch this action going on.

Highly odd for two does to be fighting. Must be over a baby daddy!

Terrific shot! Beautiful lighting. I also really like the inclusion of the passive bystander on the right.

Woah! This is awesome... I hope you kept your distance... you don't want to get into the middle of a domestic disturbance. :)

Great shot.

[Lizardqing]

Thanks guys. Glenn I was actually not very far away from them. Maybe 50 feet or so. Got some pretty close up shots of alligators there as well. At least had a boat between me and them though!

[Richard]

[Kawarthabob]

Awsome! Everything about it is just fab! Sometimes ya just have to look back once in a while eh?

[Lizardqing]

Thanks y'all, it really does prove that you got to turn around sometimes because the better image might not be what you had in mind!

[Mad Aussie]

Spectacular shot!! Can't add anything to what the others have said other than if Richard hadn't have nominated this, I would have!

[aubintbay]

[Lizardqing]

[Hillbillygirl]

Amazing capture Chris. Very nicely done
Not many people get to witness this in the wild and you caught it on photo.

[Lizardqing]

Thanks HBG, I think besides the tornado pics this is the luckiest shot I have gotten so far.

Simply awesome. You caught this perectly. The timing with the two standing up like that, you even caught a little blurr in the front legs to show motion. Love the lighting and the view of the bystander is priceless.
