Great heron with fish (Egretta alba)

I photographed this Great heron (Egretta alba) that caught a big fish with Nikon D850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 8, 1/1000 sec, ISO 800. The birds are free in nature. Thanks for your comments

Remarkable emotional hunting scene, perfectly captured, Giangiorgio! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Tatiana I thank you for your visit and beautiful appreciated comment, glad you liked it

eccelente,amico mio

Great illustration of the difference between catch and being caught, ciao Sandor

Ti ringrazio Mehmet , sono contento ti sia piaciuta

Thanks Sandor I really appreciated your nice comment

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

great capture of both the egret and you! Egrets always seem to catch prey that is on the large side for them to swallow, but their flexible throats can handle a lot. Simple and effective square composition that focuses 100 % on the action. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Thank you so much Vincent for the very nice and appreciated comment that comes from a good naturalist photographer

Looks like it caught itself a nice one, Giangiorgo. Great looking colors, light and composition. Best regards, Paul.

La tua capacita di rappresentare la natura, le loro espressioni anche crudeli, l'istinto di sopravvivenza è fantastica. L'occhio di questa Egretta è la perfezione dell'attimo.

Paul I thank you for the very nice comment

Ti ringrazio Sergio per tuo bello e generoso commento , ti aguro un buon nuovo anno pieno di buona luce per le tue foto

Splendida cattura!!!Augurissimi,anche se in ritardo|

Giuseppe contraccambio gli auguri , mi fa piacere che ti sia piaciuta

Most impressive portrait of egretta alba with its prey, Giangiorgio! One of your best, 7/7 is my rating! Complimenti! PDE

Grazie mille Pierre for your generous comment

Looks like someone has gotten themselves a nice fish to eat, Giangiorgio. Love the shape of the neck and the eyeball on the fish. Best regards, Paul.

Many thanks Paul and Dana for your appreciated comment always welcome, ciao Giangiorgio

Feel badly about that poor fish but its life. Well done.

Thank you Miroslav, for taking time to look and comment, ciao Giangiorgio
