  Oh my Oh my, this is really a "WOW", Phyllis! Remarkable and striking - you can see the expressions on their faces and the water spray/rain - just a fabulous action capture! Can't wait to see more. Off to OBX tomorrow, catch up with you soon!

  Good grief...what an AMAZING capture, Phyllis...every month all your captures and then, your Finalists are gorgeous (and inspiring!) but there's always one (or 2 or 3 :) :) that just stops you in your tracks with your jaw meeting the computer table with a thud! :) This is it for me!!! Hoping to see this one back...outstanding work!
