I usually avoid posting here after Ken, especially this one, but here goes:

I was just chilling mid-water in Belize over the sandy area inside the reef. I saw this lurking barracuda suddenly bend itself into an S shape, then hit this hapless fish in the sand, slicing it in half. It covered 20 feet in a fraction of a second, it seemed. I didn't have time to focus or change settings, I just reacted. My shutter speed was probably 1/60, the barracuda's about 1/250. After the catch, a big grouper snatched part of his meal right out of the mouth of the barracuda. I was surprised at how fast that grouper moved.

Thanks a lot guys.

Vladimir, sometimes blurry works to show movement... great shot.

Thanks, and I agree about the blur; it would be nice if it was by design though.
