How in the world did the photographer capture that moment in time? It looks like an oil painting...so rich in color and texture. The above comments are all true. Congratulations to this great artist.

Love this...it is so powerful. I vote for it although I don't see where to do that?

Makes you wonder if this wouldn't also qualify for one of those "Last Pictures Ever Taken" awards. This picture not only requires fast reactions and a fast shutter but Very Fast Feet!

This is one of four I would choose. I can't decide on only one.

This photo makes you stop in your tracks, lose thought of all else, and simply marvel at it. Not only are the subjects astounding, but it makes you wonder about the photographer as well - - what was his genesis in capturing this moment in time? Truly a world-class image.

Powerful impact in this photo, expression on the animals and man is everything.

My favorite of the group for the sheer determination on the man's face and the power exerted (and captured) by the animals.

I love the brilliant color, the Herculean strength, and the electric tention created between the two beasts and man. The clarity is incredible. The action is all encampassing. Even the water is in motion. I also love the modern theme of man interacting with nature in a more positive way. It lends to the legitimacy of our environmental movements.

My title: Ambition.

Brilliant photo.

They are all wonderful, but this one beats all out of First place! I second everything India Eldred said above. WOW!!!
Looking into this photo, I almost feel like I am right there. Amazing!!

THE BEST ONE BY FAR !!!!!!!! THREE BEAUTIFUL BEASTS FIGHTING FOR POWER AND WORKING TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME. THE CHALLENGE IS TIMELESS, THE ACTION POWERFUL! A+++++

This one has so much action it takes my breath away ! I love the colors and the strength this photo exudes .
