Yeh great shots indeed! That great white shark is incredible

The rules mean entries have to be one shot captures only with absolute minimal adjustments and no cut and pasting etc..so that rules out almost all Astrophotos I am afraid

Aren't these entries by people from outside NG?

If I can take one photo worthy of being on that webpage during my life as a photographer, I'll be a very happy man!
