Fantastic capture of the action, Giangiorgio. Excellent details, color and light. Wonderful focus and separation of the action from the rest of the image. Best regards, Paul.

many thanks Paul for you very nice comment

Ciao Giangiorgio, ci hai abituati bene con i tuoi scatti, ma questa è tra le migliori catture, non è facile cogliere questi attimi e l'hai fatto con un'immagine perfetta! Complimenti.

Ciao Max

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

a perfect action shot, with just the right shutter speed to freeze the water drops, the slight movement in the fish' tail and the soft light on the egret's white featers. Skilfully and artistically very well done! Kind regards, Vincent

A great catch for the bird and for you, ciao Sandor

Grazie mille Massimo per il tuo generoso commento

Perfect timing, wonderful light, super sharp photo. Not sure if you mentioned the focal length it was shot at? I would be curious to know how close you were? Beautiful imagery creates so much drama!! great capture, Giangiorgio. All my best, Mitch

I thank you Mitchell for your visit and for the generous comment, I have photographed the heron at about 50 m of distance and with the tele at 500 mm, this is a crop of the whole image
