Tri Coloured Heron fishing
Another shot from Florida. I had a couple attempts at catching this TCH jumping from the bank of a small island, and swooping across the water catching small fish. I only had 4 attempts at capturing the action before he flew off - although I got a few shots I liked, this was probably my favourite. Tricky lighting with a bright sun reflecting off the water, this was under exposed by 0.7 but still lost a little highlight detail.

Looks a great action shot to me !
I must get over my fear of flying. ! Seems like travel is the way to go.:smile:

Nice action shot and love the mirror effect of the water and light under the wings. Would have liked a little more of the reflection and space below it but it's juts my opinion. You get what you can in these situations and I would have been very pleased if I got anywhere near this.. Nice one!
