Such a great shot.

Thank you... it's taken me most of the year so far to get this one... I was hopeful to get the talons breaking the water.

Mr Stone. Please tell me how to capture such amazing creatures in the ways you can so evidently do? Genius.

I'd be glad to share... find a location where the animals you wish to photograph gather, or hunt. Watch them to learn their habits, and what particular aspect of their behavior you wish to capture; have enough glass to get the shot you want (I use a Nikkor 200-500mm 5.6); fast action such as this requires a fast shutter speed and normally a higher ISO. I shot this at 1/1250th sec. at f 5.6 with ISO of 1250.
