Yes I am... and I say it didn't deserve 30+ spot but a better one...

The lighting and focus are much better with Marfun's shot. The real clincher is the eggs that complete the "Circle of Life". The story is more complete.

amazing capture and beautifully processed.
Best of Show it was a 10 for me.
You should enter this further in NG or... truly amazing natural capture.
