Let Me Go!

This duck walked into the wrong territory... Eventually the beast

let him go. I do have a sequence of images including one of the

duck falling back to the ground.. Comments welcome

woa. Never seen this before. What kind of bird is that? Looks like an extinct species of some kind. I would've like to see rest of the animal instead of the wasted space above the head. Do you have pictures of blood spewing out of the duck!?!?!? hehe.

Amazing shot!

What a shot! My other thoughts: Although the shot is really about the top right, I would like to have had more of the large bird...to give some perspective.

What an unique photo! Great work.

Very interesting

It goes to show, always have your camera with you. Amazing, You have captured the moment perfectly.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this thing is supposed to be extict. What is it?

Thanks for all the coments. It looks prehistoric but it is an African Shoebill

Great timing!

Holy guacamole! Great catch.

what a great shot!!

poor baby, that duck's going to need therapy!!!

 

The big thing looks like he's laughing!

 

as I said, great shot!

 

holly:)

Yumm! Dinner time!

Judging by that duck's expression, it looks like he wishes he'd gotten supplemental insurance ;-) (Aflac)

What an amazing shot. Congrats! And that beast is huge!!

I'm amazed! Wonderful shot!

Reminds me of "Peter and the wolf"!!!

This has to be one of the very finest wildlife images I have seen in 30 years! ... Your technical stuff was together, but your timing was immaculate! ... What a rare treat to witness this duck being put in his place by his Dinosaur like neighbour ... I was very glad to see that he/she does not display the slightest sign of wanting to devour the protesting little critter!... It's a GEM! ... Let's see more ... My thanks, Evan ...

NICE SHOT!

I love this because it just doen't look real, if you made this yourself no one would believe the composition. It goes to show life is always stranger than fiction. The Dodo thing must be huge, don't want to mess with him. Congrats again!

This photo just quacks me up!

This is just friggin incredible, it's rare to see a capture of nature at work. Excellent timing, beautiful composure

I'm sure you had your camera going a mile a minute on this. and yes I agree with the above this bird doesn't seem that it should be alive at this day in age.

excellent photo...great catch!

Amazing capture--great timing! Those who would criticize your framing of the subject are FOS.

I looks like a pelican, which is one of the largest birds on earth. They measure up to 6 feet in length and teir wingspan can reach 10 feet!

 

The duck seems to be on the small side, however.

 

Great shot.
