Still waiting or an opportunity for action or ven feeding, in the meantime.
Taken at Rhino Island Safari Camp, Matusadona National Park, Zimbabwe, 19th September 2010.
EOS 1D MkIV
500mm F4 hand-held from open game viewing vehicle
F7.1, ISO 400, 1/2000, EV-0.33
BG is Lake Kariba
Virtually everything looks right on the money-exposure, details in blacks and whites, BG, HA, pose and comp, perch. It looks like there are two catchlights, though I may be mistaken. Outstanding image in any case. Can't wait to see one of these in action, as you noted. Cheers.
Very well done! Love the simple combination of colors.
I did not notice the 2 catchlights until Gary pointed it out, but I think I would probably remove one.
thanks

Ken, my favourate subject.:w3 Very well exposed, and a typical fishing pose, waiting to dive off for his next meal. Nice and sharp too.
nice light and details Ken
The image gives the impression that the bird is looking away slightly. A HA with a couple of degrees towards you might have made this otherwise great image perfect. You could have moved to the right a little to get the same result.
I like the simple design of the image, and the techs are all good. I'm with Clemens about body/head, but tough to move from a stationary vehicle.
Lovely image Ken, good exposure with great detail in blacks and whites.
Fantastic image. Only thing which is a bit unfortunate - but easily fixed - are the two catchlights. Congrats! JR
Outstanding image Ken. Techs and sharpness spot on. Well done.

It appears that my thank you to all response has not appeared, so here it is again.
Thanks a lot, I am happy to get one catchlight let alone two:bg3::bg3:
