Great picture.

I am always surprised at the pictures I get from my little waterproof compact. But clear water and a sunny day always helps!

I love it when you can see the eyes so clearly. I don't think I've ever asked what you shoot with.

What an amazing closeup and that is some really cool light. I see some rusty yellow feathers on the neck I'd never have noticed before.

Wonderful capture. The clarity of that eyeball is remarkable. Hope the GBH nabbed his lunch.

Good golly, Miss Molly! I tell you...you are the best. I cannot believe this shot. It looks like you are close enough to touch it. Great lens. The look in that eye is unforgettable, and the beak...well, all I can say is I would NOT want to be a fish inside it! genie

So, were you sitting in his nest waiting for him. You are so close I fear might for your life :) Looks like he may have been swallowing a goodie ... is that why he let you get so close. You are just too cool ... Love it, Brian.
