Don't count that fish out yet, looks like the bird is in a comprimised position, and just how much did you pay them to pose for you?

That is one hell of a shot. I am not a nature shooter, but if I were, that is the action I would look for.

Kudos

Yep, you really nailed that one. I'm glad to see the 300 f/4 & TC17 work so well together.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for the kind words. Surely I would like to make it on the NatGeo cover someday. Maybe Dave-in-La will be kind enough to put me on for next month?

A cracking shot. Absolutely superb. It begs the question though, who won the fight? Would love to know.

The first thing that struck me was the sharpness of this image. Even the water dropplets are sharp and the action being frozen at just the right time.

You deserve a super thumbs up

Everything works with this image...this should be shared, printed, framed and hung on a wall...I would be proud to say this is mine....

The water drops does it for me...great timing.

Man... is that what we live for or what?! Seems like everyone here understands that post-capture feeling of satisfaction you got. I've never had that, of course, but I thought I did once and it was great! Until I found Where's Waldo in the background...
