These pcitures took a lot of time for me to capture and it was a long wait. I would appreciate your comments. Critics welcome as you make me better :).

Nice shots, but I was hoping to see a egret eating a house sparrow. :)

It's funny that you said that because I thought the same thing as I opened this thread.

I was hoping to see a house sparrow eating an egret. Now THAT would be something :)

Loved both the egret shots and the sparrow is nicely posed and detailed, though a tad dark on my monitor.

I agree with the zoomer, the sparrow appears a bit on the dark side, but that first shot is exposed fabulously. I don't see one "blown" area in the entire egret, and that doesn't happen often from my experience with viewing this bird. That last action shot is simply great because it's a brief second captured perfectly. I'm sure the bird "missed," otherwise the next photo would have been the display of the catch shot :D

Great stuff!

Thanks for your comments guys. Yeah I missed the catching shot by milliseconds but what I liked in this case is that you can still see the eyes opened for the Egret.
