"Birds of a Feather" A bird passes by as Thomas C. Finchum, of the United States, performs in the men's 10-meter platform finals at the USA Diving Grand Prix in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Sunday, May 11, 2008, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Finchum finished fourth in the event.
Photographers Quote: "There was little background reference as to how high Finchum was on his ten meter dive, until local birds were checking out the scene an helped show that man can defy gravity with pirouetting spinning grace. After several test flights, the bird flew over right on schedule for Finchum's flight into the pool." |
