    Dumay, I didnt even get a shot of this guy at all that day. Great concentrated stare on his next meal, and you have captured good detail and colours on the heron. Killer colour in the BG too.

    Love the detail in the bird, the colors of bird and bg, and the intent stare.

    Dumay: I like these fierce guys -- think they're very elegant looking. And your background is super.

    I like the intense hunters stare in this one! Nice and sharp too.

    Well caught, Dumay - lovely BG. Only images I managed were further away against the bright water. The plumage patterns are great.
