Tricolored Heron & Snack

From Thursday in Bayou Sauvage. I shot this just as the bird had caught a small fish of some soft. Naturally I would have preferred a bit lower angle, but the handrail on the boardwalk precluded that. Larger image included.

Exposure, detail, and composition all come together very nicely on this one, Bill. The larger version is a must see too. Nice work. :cool:
