I love the action in this image - and the detail on the feathers is beautiful.

Fantastic catch and beautiful image. Did you have to wait long to get this?

Neat shot. What an amazing catch. Great how it's entirely in focus. I love the smooth velvety black background.

Great catch. We had some green herons here last summer, but I didn't get anything this good. Nice job.
