Great low angle, Michael. Perfect dof and the needlefish(?) adds a cool touch.

Love the low ankle, I wouldn't mind for the birds to have a little more space in the photo.

Nice Michael!

You really got down onto the pebbles for this one. Very cool behavioral capture.

Sweet shot Mike - especially with the fish. I would have liked omre DOF which you certainly could afford w/such a high SS

Super low angle and position of this pair,,,,the fish is a nice bonus. The image looks a little muddy in the lights on my monitor.

Terrific Michael, especially with that fish. The pose of the two birds is terrific as well.
