Can't remove hand sadly without cutting out the various parts of the trap.

Taken at 1/6400 of a second. Not sure if I could get it in focus even at 1/8000 in full sunlight due to how fast the jaw moves (definitely a future experiment though). Not even sure if 1/8000th of a second is fast enough to capture the jaw closing period heh. If only there was a camera with a faster shutter speed lol.
Thanks for those of you who realized how hard this shot was, technically-speaking. Sadly, it still came out crappy looking, so the score is reasonable considering.
Still learning and there's always the next challenge though ;)
Nice action shot. Great idea. The object in the foreground is a little distracting, but I realize how hard it would have been to get this shot. Good job.
OK, you may get killed by some voters for the lack of focus but I like this shot. In encapsulates closing, motion and power. Shame that it couldnt be cropped to remove the blob in the left hand corner, but cool nonetheless
