Heron and the Catfish
by Janet Forjan-Freedman

I had just discovered the flexibility and ease of shooting at a higher ISO the week I took this shoot. This changed my shooting habits and allowed me to continue shooting flash free but at even an earlier hour of the day!

This is just stunning...it's like a 2 for 1, a bird *and* a fish..and the bird is even making the fish pose for you! =) Great shot.

I love all your photos Janet but this one stands out - well captured, sharp and lovely colors - I love to see birds doing what they do.

Janet, your bird picture are always outstanding but this one with the fish is one of your best. My choice of the four.

Great pic, I knew they ate fish but not bullhead!

Great in several ways but the look on the catfish face makes it #1.

What a great capture, this is such a hard shot to get and you got it perfect. My pic of your four although I'm very partial to the butterfly too.

Wow, does that catfish look surprised!
This is really a dynamite shot, Janet!
