Super image Conrad. Having broken my share of bones I need to tell you that if the doctor says “This will not hurt much.” RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Hahah! Thanks Morris!

OUCH! So sorry to hear about the mishap, Conrad. I hope your recovery moves ahead of schedule and you are out there again soon. I will definitely send you some RAW files to play with.

Conrad, that is terrible news! I'm so sorry to hear about your fall. Thank heavens you were with a group of people.

The Owl is outstanding! I'd love to send you a file to process. My PP is still very challenged, or maybe it's the RAW file that is challenged.

Take care of that ankle. I'm looking forward to your posts.
Nancy

Thank you Nancy!

Sorry to hear about your ankle, Conrad. Ask the doctor for some carbon fiber, loctite, and a new ballhead. Hope your bipod is fixed soon.

In all seriousness, get well soon.

PS. Really nice shot you got there!!

Many thanks! I'll ask for those things ASAP

Great shot, sorry to hear about the broken ankle, ouch!

This is a good lesson in not going out into remote country alone, especially once you get out of cell range...if you'd been on your own the outcome could have been a lot worse.

I completely agree. It could have been much much worse!

Whoa, Conrad, sorry to hear about the ankle... yeah, in our haste to "get that perfect shot", we sometimes go a little overboard!

Seriously though, don't screw around with the ankle, get the surgery and get it done right the first time. You're still young and active, and a surgically repaired ankle won't affect you as much as you age.... Plus, having titanium pieces in your body makes you almost as high tech as your gear

Haha! I know, I should. Thanks Chris!

But I'm quite sympathetic to it

And this image certainly should help to take some of the sting out of things; it is a wonderful shot!

Fantastic image Conrad, get well soon as we will all miss your great submissions. I know exactly how you are feeling as I am just getting over the same type of accident you had and broke my ankle as well. The hardest part is not getting out in the field with the camera.
Good luck!!!

Keith

Thank you Kieth! I hope your ankle is doing well brother
