This juvenile GBH kept getting on the way while we tried to create images of the Snowy Egrets eating the bait just caught by El Maestro for the purpose.

Great timing, pose and BG. The little fish adds a lot to it. Interesting to see your approach regarding sharpening. On my monitor it looks a tad soft. I'm using a Sony XBrite monitor.

Love that you caught the flop of the fish while it was in the heron's beak. Lovely background colors too!

Another great action packed image. If you really look at the Heron's eye.....you can see the concentration in his fish.
