Oh, and did you get any shots of it AFTER the egrets neck snapped? After that much strain I have to believe he at least needed a foam collar for a few weeks.

Andy, this shot should be in a magazine. At the very least, you should hang this one on your wall. Congrats on this shot of a lifetime!

Dave,
Thank you for the flattering comment. I'm pretty happy with the shot. I intend to submit it to a few wildlife contests or even some birding magazines. At least it's an opportunity to share a special capture with others who will appreciate it.

Woo, I have that same setup. I can live vicariously through your shots!

Great stuff


Hey cputeq,
Lots of people seem to diss the Nikon brand. To me, both Nikon and Canon make good cameras and lenses. It is up to the photographers to get the most out of what they've got.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Personally, I love this setup and I'm comfortable with it.
