Hi all ...
a action shot of the KF female from a commercial blind or hide .
Quite tricky ... for the AF to keep the FP on the head of the subject under these action conditions .
THe R3 performed quite well , not 100 % perfect though .

Great action super timing, colours in the bird look ideal, pleasing background, credible perch - super shot!

 

[James Babbitt]

Really nice. Image and action are good enough that lack of eye visualization doesn't matter.

I would have preferred the fish's face not obstructed by the perch, but I still like the image. Fun water streaks!

THX folks ... glad you like it .

@ James ... the eye is always closed while swinging the fish around , so no chance to get a " real " eye contact ... so I think it is quite ok to have the eyes not really visible.

@ Dan ... would agree about the perch
