MONKEYS? what monkeys?

Sorry, ain't buying the leaping carp photo.  The lack of ANY kind of disturbance in the water or water droplets coming off the carp just gives it away as fake.  Go fill up the tub, stick your arm in vertically, and lift it out as fast as you think a carp would be moving as it leaped out of the water.  Water will surge up around your arm, water droplets will be flying off, as well as running down your arm.  Only way you can bring your arm up without making all that stuff happen is doing very slowly and carefully.  Most likely one of two things was done for that photo...either the carp (and probably the bird) were both photoshopped into the background, or else the carp was tied to something in the area where the bird's wing covers it up and suspended in the water like that, while the bird was photoshopped in.  The only thing that makes me think that might be the way it was done is that the reflection of the carp in the water looks pretty realistic.  However, if you blow up the photo, you'll see the background around the edges of the carp and bird is a different texture than the rest of the background, which makes me think both were photoshopped in.

Well I hope you have a good leech/possum recipe.   What does a trophy possum look like?  I had a young one under the gun last night but didn't have any sweet taters so I let him live.  

Please don't kill the possums !   Just pet them and let them go.  They are precious and we lose far too many to unscrupulous drivers that refuse to hit the ditch and roll their vehicles to avoid them.

Don't tell me you are a member of the European Possum League?  I have heard that they are becoming a "thing" now.

you may be right...I can only go by what the guy claims..I went and blew it up just now..... the tree behind the bird is fuzzy out of focus, but the birds posture looks odd in flight... like it just left a perch to fly...or startled by the sudden appearance of the fish..you can see the carp through the wings of the bird and one foot down to the claw detail....if it is photoshopped its a darn good one...if you were to go to that much trouble, why a carp????

 

here are some more 'jumps" to compare
