Absolutely awesome shot. How long did you have to wait around for this picture?

Thank you very much for your kind remarks. I guess that a couple of hours passed between crawfish eating captures while I was there. I got two separate series of crawfish meeting the end of their life, but this one kind of told the story best for me. I'm glad you like it, and I appreciate your comments.

One cannot see through my eyes, so I take pictures.
Thanks! Yeah, he's tougher than I am, that's for sure. I don't even like the things cooked...

good choice for lunch, I love crawfish.........but I like mine cooked.:hungry:
Thanks for the comment, Jillian. I mentioned in an earlier reply to a comment on this image that this guy is tougher than me, because I don't even like them cooked. I guess that's one Southern tradition I never got right while growing up here. Thanks again!

I don't know what to say except that it is truly an incredible shot.
Thanks, Jim! I'm very pleased that you like it. Timing was definitely everything on this one. I had a few chances to get this capture, and I took advantage of them. Thanks again!
