Your title says it all! Great capture too! I love the arc of the wings as he's fighting to keep control! Great shot.

I don't know who your are because this is a contest, but FAR will not allow a 6 from me because I have given you two others in the past 30 days. This photograph deserves a 6!

I'll bet you're glad you waited on this beautiful heron. Your capture is dramatic. The fish in his beak, the splash around his feet, the wide spread wings, all make for a great story and good drama.

The composition is well balanced with the stump, bird, ripples in the water all adding interest. I love the color and your focus is crystal clear.

What a winner and good luck in the contest.

Excellent! The movement in the water, the spray from his feet, the movement of the wing, the look in the fishes eye! The water color is beautiful! Perfect timing!

Great color and clarity. The detail you've caught here without a blur is awesome.The ol' stump gives the needed depth and initial impact is eye catching to say the least. Great Job. If I had more than 5 stars to give you I would.

What great shot- beautiful colors - excellent focus. One of the coolest action shots I have seen, almost like he is walking on water.
