Action makes some of the best pictures ... so show us your favorite action shots. Post as many as you like, but please limit them to one photo per post. Tell us a little bit about the picture ... where you took it, what's going on, and why you like this particular shot.
I'll start with one I took at my local mudhole about three years ago. It was in winter, and shortly after dusk, I was swimming around at about 15 fsw in the eelgrass beds, which are a nursery that time of year. Among the critters populating those beds are tubesnouts, little skinny fish about six inches long. As I'm just about ready to take a shot of something else, an opalascent squid darts in front of my camera, snatches a hapless tubesnout, and starts backing out of the eelgrass with it in his grasp. OK ... if you're gonna interrupt my shot, I'll just use you as the subject. I followed him downslope, taking several pictures. This was the one I liked the best ... it won me a trip in a photo contest later that year ...
