Dan

you get a

from me for a Holy Grail - -

especially since my flowers have been considered for that honor.

Well done & what an amazing Snowy.....

Well done - Great set.

Lil

P.S. Socrate's right - in # 13 she does have a tiny fish in her beak..... (yes I wrote "she" - none-linear thinking deems a female.

)

The rest of this set is to show the another missed attempt to come up with a fish.

7 - 9.

Dan, if you look closer at # 13 I believe it did catch a little one

Look at the original shot and you can see that better.
Socrate

Thank you so much Master S for pointing that out. I did a 100% crop of that pic #13 and there seems to be a tiny fish caught. Man, talk about precision

A most amazing series of events Danno, Lucky Danno to be exact

I have never seen this before, shocking I bet when you did see it.
You sure got some nice pearly whites in this series with some great pop in the yellows. #'s 5,6,7 are really sweet images buddy.

Holy Grail in uniqueness yes! Your Holy Grail.........not yet as I have set my standards for your HG much higher my friend, for me, the HG shot is in the eyes of the animal/bird/fish whatever. The eyes will tell you Danno

That's not entirely true, Kirk. Yes, it has to be an Osprey, but it can be taken with any camera, even a P&S. However, to get a real working JB Decoder Ring it must conform to the taken with a Canon camera rule. Do not shoot me as I didn't make the rules, you can blame JB for that

Hi Dan, great sequence. I consider it a Holy Grail and I voted. I've seen this behavior before from a snowy egret in Pacific coastal Mexico, namely in Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo. The egrets had to fish on the wing as there were crocodiles in the water. There were yellow crowned and snowy egrets fishing nearby the crocs in this fashion. I'll have to dig up some shots from last year.

Herb

Too bad there are no crocs around here

. Thank you very much Herb.

Fantastic series, Danno! The focus and whites are spot-on. I would say Holy Grail but then you would have nothing more to live for...so for your sake, I vote for 99.9% HG!

LMAO
That's why I didn't want to be perfect

. Thanks a bunch Mr. Wing Man.

Awesome sequence, Dean, but decoder rings are reserved for Osprey Grails only.

Nice try though

It must be my Nikon gears

In addition to the Harrier HG club you could start one for Snowy's too Danno.

Excellent sequence here my friend... #4 is awesome and 13-14 are really beautiful.

Nice work buddy... keep trying Danno, you're Holy Grail will come.

Kirk

Thank you very much Kirk. Glad you liked them buddy.
