Hi mates

A shot from yesterday morning, A Cattle Egret maintaining a river crab with its tip.

Tecnical Data: Canon EOS 1D Mark II, Sigma 70-200 F2,8 EX HSM, Sigma 2x EX extender, 400mm, F7,1, 1/2656, ISO 400. Full Frame. Car as hide and a beanbag to avoid vibrations.

Ready for your critics.

Now in Spanish:

Hola compañeros.

Un disparo de ayer por la mañana. Una Garceta Bueyera sosteniendo un cangrejo de rio con su pico. Usando el coche como hide y un beanbag para evitar trepidaciones.

Listo para escuchar vuestras criticas.

Hi Gandalf, a lovely image with nice framing, background is to die for and excellent exposure. I would only wish for more of a head or body turn.

A nice setting. Would be better if the bird was not moving away from the viewer. Looks a bit oversaturated to me.

A better angle would be a little more toward the photographer, but this is good as is. You might ease off on the saturation a bit; it's got a bit of an unnatural look as is.
