Great catch for both of you Scott. Looks like the ISO performance of the new body is much better than the old version. How are you liking this camera so far?

Nicely done. The sharpness is perfect and I can see the double lateral line of the cichlid fish...........................Jim

Sweet. I like the intensity of the heron's stare. Great job.

Very cool shot and I wonder he is keeping the fish.

Outstanding image Scott. It almost appears 3 dimensional. Great angle on the bird and fish. Love how the background compliments the subject. Dave

Nice job nabbing this action Scott. Also goo decision on the DOF. I particularly like the eye also being visible in the prey.

Perfect!!! down to the scales on the fish! Herons are so intense when hunting, and that is revealed nicely here in contrast to the "Uh-oh!" look of the poor little fish. Brilliant! Hearty congrats on the Pick for this, Scott.
