These are two little egrets in a middle of a fight,
I tried to catch them few times and this picture was the only descent picture of this fight,
it was very quick action.

I needed to do a crop for better composition.

Eqp. EOS 20D, 100-400L IS handheld

F11.0, 1/1250, ISO 200, 250mm

All my birds' pictures were taken in nature.

Nice action Elroyie! :wink: Light looks a bit harsh. I wish the underwing was better illuminated and the BG more blurred.

I'll echo Ofer's comments. That was exactly what I was thinking before I scrolled down and read it. I think fill flash would have helped a little here to brighten that underwing that is in the shade. I don't think the background is too objectionable though I wish it were more blurred. The action here is spectacular though and definately a shot I wish I had.

Nice action and white exposure given the strong light. Depending on what range you were at fill flash might have helped on the underwing detail.
