Captured from Jame's Shadle's Hooptie Deux. While watching the spoonbills, an osprey landed in the water. A few seconds later it was lift-off. 1D Mark III. 500mm.
The white water reflections do not make me happy...nevertheless.
Yeah, Susan! Perfect timing on this one -- love the angle of the bird, both talons just clearing the water, the wonderful detail on the poor fish, and the blurred wings and cloud of drops emphasizing the speed and violence of the action.
I take some credit for this one -- I was on the boat and was changing my card when Susan captured this action. Bird photographers know the power of card changing to bring opportunities to the others who are there.
