You didn't think I was referring to the Egret, did you?
Sony A-700~Sony70-400G~Sony1.4converter~560mm~ISO500~1/1000sec~F10~manual exposure~4-26-09~overcast~Quintana, Texas
Alternate title would have been "Goby's Last Stand". Thats what type of fish it was.
Comments and critique welcome.

Tongue in cheek comment-get rid of steel eye, you didnt think I meant the Egret did you ?
Seriouly a little tight but love the action and eye position of the prey.
Also the whites look good.
Chas.
:D Loved the tittle. Well, the HA is the only thing to improve here, but the natural moment, light, detail, BG, the great pose of the fish inspired this OOTB crop :) , hope you don't mind. Congratulations, great timing!
Such an interesting image, but to me, it's all about the fish and the bird is a distraction. LOL I think Ramon may be on to something. That curved fish, cool eye, and flying droplets are where my attention lingers. The blur in his tail is perfect.
Bill: Wonderful shot! The position of the fish is just perfect. I agree with the noise in the background, and on my monitor the image seems a bit flat. I'd be tempted to tweak this just a bit with Levels, perhaps. Excellent exposure by the way. Where did you take this, if you don't mind me asking?
