A quick ''gulp'' then. But hurry up!

I saved this one for today, it's special for me.
Taken with the new lens

Just out of camera, no B/G change just the river.

V1 is simply superb Lillian of that there is no doubt, V2's acceptable but the shutter speed and focus is just a little off, but it's still a great effort.

V 1 is quite excellent in every way, Lillian, another fish making it's final appearance......such impressive detail.
And of course V 2 is a much better shot than anything I would have achieved had I been there.
Full marks to you.

Not just excellent timing but BEAUTIFUL colour and sharpness in V1, Lillian. And straight out of cam too! You must've been SO chuffed GrinGrin

Never mind about the sharpness in V2, you've caught one gorgeous pose there as it takes off!

V1 was timed to perfection to catch him just about to gulp that fish down. You should be over the moon with that one
