After some poking around, it certainly appears to be our great and wonderful webmaster. Hmm.

That is a neat picture but Pekka's last name is Saarinen.

Finland is full of excellent nature photographers, but that's not my genre. My closest experience of wildlife is when I go to post christmas sales :)

The photo you linked to has been around a lot. There must have been a pack of photogs with impeccable timing -- because that thing has been claimed by a lot of folk!

I've seen that photo posted here at POTN. I cannot remember who took credit for the photo.

I found the thread. Firestorm34 claims this photo as his/her work in THIS THREAD.

You know, I saw that thread awhile back when it was first posted and then got an email with that same picture in it and did not put two & two together. It's sad..very sad...that someone would claim a shot as their own and even put a story to how he captured it. Now...I am beginning to wonder if any of the other photo posts are his :rolleyes: .
