Super shots Dan.

Some of these are just great standalone BIF shots, wonderful light, great exposure control, sharp, nice composition, love the ones with the fish in the Egret's mouth. That you have captured a series showing something a little out of the ordinary certainly add to the achievement.

Now whether or not this is the holy grail I'm not sure, it depends what you mean. If you mean is this the very best sequence of Snowy Egret shots that can be imagined, then I don't think it is (for instance, too many of the shots have the bird looking away from the camera, a bigger fish would be more spectacular in 13 etc).

Now if you had asked whether this would win the gold medal in the "Snowy Egret" calss at an imaginary 2009 photography olympics then I for one would certainly not be betting against you!

Paul


Thank you kindly Paul. You said it well.

These are excellent photos Dan. I think Monty Python would shoot for even better.

Dan, you can take these over the top by shooting during the magic hour for better light and color. Your sequence is wonderful and I don’t have any faults worth mentioning. If you are striving for your Holy Grail the photos need to be better than just perfect, then need to have incredible impact.

You did a great job and I enjoyed viewing every photo Dan.

Morris


Thank you kindly Morris. I appreciate the comments.

Haha! I just saw the edited and labelled version which points out the big catch! Holy Grail for sure!

Actually, cool series in that you go so much of the fishing sequence in!

Thank you very much Josh. I am very happy w/ the D300s. I think the AF tracking is excellent.
