When I took this photo during the Invergordon Fleet Day I thought right, that's it, job done. I thought it was a great idea and I'd nailed it. But that usually means I've got a photo that nobody else will like so I kept on shooting for the rest of the day. Plus I knew that this one would have to run quite large for the spectators to be seen, so I wanted to provide more options in case the paper was pushed for space.

Well it turns out that my judgement was spot-on this time as this is the photo that ran in today's Press & Journal. I was sure they'd run the pirates with Spike Man shot but this was the one I was hoping they'd use. Yay!

Here are a couple of extra similar frames that I sent as well, but I think the one that was used was the best one.

Somehow I even ended up being quoted in the accompanying article which I can only assume was because none of the event organisers were available on Sunday and I'd made a comment about the weather in an e-mail.
