    Good one, Joe. Nice exposure on the heron, and good timing to get the dripping prey. I might take a bit off the bottom. (Is the water really that stunning blue?) Nice catchlight on the fish.

    Another good capture Joe. Love that reflection, and facial expression on the bird.

    nice capture of the heron in action with prey. Nice water drops and blue water, was it able to eat that thing with the hard shell and spines?
