    What a killer shot Sid! Love the sharpness everywhere and the beautiful coloring. Great portrait shot. The slight water spray/drops add nicely to the action.

    Love the great texture in the Reddish Egret. Don't mind the lack of eye contact because the bird is focused on his meal.

    Sid:

    Very dramatic, IQ held up well to the crop, def. an "Oh No, Mr. Bill " moment.

    High impact!

    Cheers
