    Bored on a hot day?

    All you need is a pool, a willing victim and an off-camera flash.

    Or something... :thumbsup:

    Outstanding shot! It's kind of a human version of an alligator or crocodile. Almost feel like Jeff Corbin is going to jump out and yell "Crickey"!

    Wow, Dylan put the smack down on your pathetic name retention skills Dave. You gonna stand for that?

    FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! ...eh, it's not worth it...

    Thanks for digging this one up guys, I had given up on the thread.

    Paul, were you shooting?

    Dylan, sorry to offend you I had no idea these guys actually had a following of fans. I have no idea how I could have gotten these two guys confused?! :mad2: They are obviously so memorable! I really appreciate your blunt straight forward correction, please, please if I do not spell another name right in the future fix it for me! rrr:


    Irwin aka: "Crickey", right?


    Corwin, not Corbin, right?

    Sebastian you looking to watch a good fight?

    I was kidding!

    Put down the fists and the ... did you scan that first one out of a magazine or something? God that's terrible quality. Lighting's all wrong, the background was CLEARLY Photoshopped, just not pure photography IMO.

    Re: Bored on a hot day?

    i wasn't trying to disrespect you or any thing i just don't feel the need to sugar coat corrections as the meaning soemtimes gets lost in the fluff (not especially in this case).

    its a simple mistake and god knows i make many mistakes, so its not anything like i'm better than you, i just liked to watch those shows (haven;t seen them in a LONG time) because i would love to be a herpetologist when i grow up (well in training to be one).

    Guys I know it was all in good humor, I was just trying to add to the humor. It's all good no offense was taken at all. Honestly, I completely forgot they were two different people until Dylan made the correction.

    The images came google.com "images" search.

    I still think this image might make Corwin jump out of the bushes and yell "Crickey"!

    Re: Bored on a hot day?

    Any way back to you image Sebastain. Two things I aways enjoy about your photographs and this one is a perfect example is #1 the simple straight forward presentation and #2 the rich colors (ie: the water) that you always seem to be able to achieve. As usual well done.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Seb...... I do tree work again, but still shoot alittle for Duke Farms.

    I was taking down trees at the house and oddly my shoes fell off and I ended up in a pool sporting CK boxer briefs Stranger yet, my brother had the same ones on too when he fell in :lol:
