amazing shots dixon!!! the arow pic is great, but you know im biased toward the gar shot for sure! the fact that you got the pic with the upper jaw out of the water snapping down is just fantastic. i'd probably vote for the arow pic if thats all you submitted, but man, if that gar pic was in there, i would have no choice

great pics, and you must have a lot of patience to go through all those pics over weeks to get a couple good ones--
