Cracking shot, bet you are chuffed. Well done
 
You should be justly proud of yourself it's a great picture.
 
Stunning shot James. Deserves all the accolades you and the shot get. :thumbs:
 
about time an' all :clap:

wasn't this the shot that someone commented 'looks just like something from a NG magazine' ? and you said... 'yeh, i wish' :eek:

well keep wishing.. you've worked hard enough for it and now the cream is rising to the top. :thumbs:
 
Fantastic achievement James, I bet you haven't stopped smiling yet...Well done fella.
 
Many congratulations! The capture of the moment and the overall atmosphere are stunning.
 
WOW, bloody WOW.

You can't top that, put your gear up for sale NOW.

Fantastic.....:clap::clap:
 
Fabulous image, well done.

(curious as to whether you had to give her anything in return?)
 
Superb image !! I was thinking about entering myself but isn't there a fee per pic??

Congratulations, photo well suited for the magazine :clap:
 
Nicely done considering you weren't able to light it properly! :p :D
 
Congrats James! I think you might want to change your link. I believe your image is #8 not #9.

:D Managed to find it eventually. You're in great company in there. Fantastic image surrounded by even more great images! Very inspirational. Good Luck! ;)
 
I've worked with national geographic a few times in the past they are a good bunch!. Not surprised they picked your shot. They know what makes a great photo and this is one. Well done.
 
I might just surprise you there - I'd love to try baked locus, cricket or similar. Texturewise they're meant to be similar to eating whole prawns or (UK)shrimp!


The bum burning chilli you can keep though! :D
