i didn't even see this heron hidden in the reeds, and when something flushed him out, he flew across a small lagoon right in front of me. i didn't even have time to back the zoom off to fit him all in the frame... just pulled up the camera and took the shot... 30D, 80-400 @ 158mm, 1/800 @ f/9

I love the sharp focus and detail. Not easy to get on a fast moving bird. Beautiful.

Isn't it wonderful when you have the camera and suddenly, there's the bird and it all comes together? Great shot.

This is awesome for a quick shot, it shows the level of photographer that you are, if it had been me, you would have just seen streaks. Brilliant.

Very nice catch! I know how hard it is to get good shots of moving birds.

The one thing I have found hard to fit in my camera bag is luck. GREAT shot. Everything went perfect for you.

Your composition could'nt be better this really strikes.
If you had the time it probably would'nt have been as good,
This is how a gun slinger works by instink and sometimes
it do, but not here, not now. Shoot fast, live long.
