Oh poor you! But, you saved the camera. My luck, it would have been in bits as well as me. However, I would have gone through all that for a shot like this. Excellent. I can almost hear the screeching.

It's an awesome photo - but I'm sorry it was so dearly paid for!

He was either trying to warn you or else laughing at you! lol! You caught the action and colors beautifully.

Beautiful and unusual shot. Save the equipment at all costs! :)
