Action! Good catch! I like the coloring and the lighting. Nice display of the wings.Clever selection of shutter speed to freeze the water around.

    Thank you so very much! After the download I realized the shutter was not fast enough! If the light permits next time I will be shooting 1500-2000/sec.

WOW Very sharp, good DOP got the at just right time. Like the small drops falling off kind of makes me hungry looking at that fish.

    Thank you so very much! I don't think you want that fish. It is a shad. I have seen them catch bass, bluegill and croppie but it seems like they catch more shad than anything.

This is a great shot of the heron fishing. I like his spread of his wings. The green water is a great background which really helps highlight him nicely. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Sam

Great Action Stopper,I know it's hard to get a shot like this cause I shot these birds all the time,with my camera,of course. Nice color,sharp,stopped action. A National Geographic Moment. Good framing and great capture.

Hi Willie,

Sounds like you're going to capture more great shots like this one. I am SO envious! Love the added splash to the beautiful open wings. Love the water color too! Very nicely doen with no blur and fantastic DOF. Can't wait to see more of your shots.

Very Nicely Done!

Amazing. The emerald colour water, serves as a great foil against the pink and black of the bird. The wake in concentric circles moving away from the splash of the bird is great. Well done my friend. Cyn

Awesome shot! Colours are fantastic. Focus, light, all perfect. Like the freezing of the motion with your very fast speed. Lovely swirl in the water and good reflection too. This is a cyber 6!

Wow! Another great image - clarity and focus is spot-on and the detail is just wonderful - perfect colors and lighting - and the artist notes are very informative.
