    Beautiful image Fab:

    If you could have just gotten the Egret to hold the fish pointing the other way (towards us) it would be perfect!

    Very good job on the whites here. Nice slight shadows, sharp eye. The head turn police will love you for the eye contact! :) You and Alfred must live at Anhinga. I sure wish I was there right now. This image gives me something to aim for when I go back. I want to focus on elegant closeups, fine details and emotional appeal of the subject. Post more like this one Fabs.

    I like the soft light, details and BG. The fish adds to it. Nothing you could have done about the fish pointing the other way.

    Great picture. I am always afraid to "cut" birds while framing a picture, but it works great in this picture. It gives me some inspiration for this weekend, I am planning to go to Anhinga trail.
