Shot a couple of weeks ago in Gulfport. I have a recent similar post of this bird without the fish. Larger image included.

Olypus E-3 ZD300 F2.8 +EC20 Wimberley I, ISO 400 1/1000 F5.7 0.0EV, cropped to 3x2 from 4/3rds format.

Very nice shot Bill. I like the DOF here and the way the texture of the water fades toward the top of the image. The fish is the icing on the cake. Well done. :toast:

This is really nice Bill. Love the water FG and BG. The light is nice and the bird with fish is super. Just enough light in the eye to make this work for me. Well done.

Bill, the nice light and sharpness of the bird from end to end make this shot for me. The fish is great too. Nicely done.
