Just thought I would ask you lads to put up your favorite Trophy shot and Scenic shot    

But also a bit of info on why its your favorite .....  

if like me .....you have more than one ...please feal free to post them    

Will start you off ..... with my favorite shot's  from Lake Chira in Grand Cannaria  



this is not my biggest carp from that lake, but I think it tells a story in the picture of the extreamly rocky conditions and how I used my bedchair as protection for the fish as its very hard to get all your tackle over to the lake when flying .....  so this makes it one of my favorite trophy shot from the lake ....infact I even had it drawn by a friend of mine as you can see from below  




Here is my favourite scenic shot from the lake ....and also tels a story ....infact I have used it in a couple of articles about the lake ...saying here is the biggest fish from Chira ....it was made when the sun comes up and cast a shaddow of a slopping tree and peak of the rocks on the opposite bank ....forming the shape of a big fish

My Favorite Capture shot is this because of my expression as the fish flapped




My favorite scenic



The one above is atmospheric, something that can't be described only felt but it brings back the good feeling every time I look at it
