KODAK MOMENT ALERT LEVEL 10 !!! " Kids get your Dad and go home. We're having turtle soup for supper. " You caught this guy in quite a Kodak Moment E. Excellent work. I think Nike should come out with a sneaker just for bird photographers. They could call it " The Stalker " . I could see a sneaker deal in your future.

What a dramatic photograph! With his outspread wings,he looks angelic. His paired legs and feet stretched toward the log in perfect synchronization.The splash of the water as one turtle makes a fast getaway.And,the diagonal of the log on the green water. Beautiful,in every respect!
Regards,
Joanna

An exotic image and a great entry!

A well-timed still action capture with a great story telling factor.

Sharply focused with no aesthetic blur whatsoever!

Impressive entry. Potential voters choice...

Thanks for sharing...

A very nice shot. I like the way the turtles are scurrying off the log to make room for the heron. The wing position is great and the colors are excellent. Best of luck in the contest.

Great timing and wonderful stop action shot and perfect entry into the Take off and landing contest. I love your storytelling with this image.....the splash of water with the turtle jumping into the water is a wonderful addition to your photography. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. So beautiful with the Heron's wings outstretched and in mid-air and capture of emotion of his face. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing! Best wishes in the contest.
