| It's amazing that you can just see something that you like and

| But the photographer uploaded a video on YouTube of him taking
| the photo, and just looking at the environment (he's in a small
| boat off the coast of Mexico) you can see it really did require a
| remarkable amount of planning. And I think it is indeed a real
| photograph.

| Thanks for sharing, can't imagine how bird photographers devote
| weeks to plan for a single shot - may seem extreme. Being in
| the right location at the right time is the key. Wow!
|
| This skill is often underrated. World is moving faster than
| ever. Another underrated skill is quick-decision making.
