Excellent! Love the eye contact with the fish, and the heron. I also like the splash.

Spot on with the fish, certainly different view point too, dab of super glue? :jump: :toast:

Guess he will be out with his Equity card soon.

Brought a smile to my lips - the body size difference is amusing. Good capture.

Cheers,
Chris

One of the species that really intriuges me and they can be so difficult to capture for me. This shot is so different which makes it outstanding.
