Nice! I like your choice of shutter speed and the intense hunting looks on their faces.

Eduardo, wow, awesome to get two - how did you get them to stay still for you :).  Love the feel & roar of the moving water captured by the slow shutter and the back Heron puffing up looks cool.

The beautifully blurred water is the perfect backdrop for this well-posed pair of herons. A unique and very attractive image!

Dear Lynn,

I understand that their favorite book to read is "Waiting for Sushi", not "Waiting for Godot" :lol:

Simply love the experiment with slow shutter speed. Learning from your shots. Hats off.

Cool poses, they look really determined and I like that the red eyes pop out well.
