Hi and thank you so much to you all for voting and your kind comments. I am very proud of this shot which was one of the first I took with my new Nikon D3 on the 15th December 2007. I only received the camera on the 12th Dec 2007 after a long wait. It was more the camera than me that allowed me to capture this image. The 9 frames per second and high ISO with low noise (ISO 2000) in this image is testament to the quality of the D3.
Sadly, I had a problem with the clock battery being faulty on the camera when delivered. It took I while for a replacement to be posted to me. It was only after I submitted my original to DPC that I looked at the metadata and realized the date stamp is wrong, so I guess I'll be disqualified. A real bummer as this is my PB by a long chalk. Oh well. That'll teach me.
Thanks once again.
Bob
