Wall of water

[Sabyasachi Patra]

This is an open-billed stork quenching its thirst. The previous shot of the series is here:

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Canon EF 400mm F2.8 L IS USM, EF 2xII, ISO 800, f8, 1/1000, full frame image.

Which one is better?

Cheers,

I like this one better. The water film is well frozen by the shutter speed. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Indeed a wall of water:thumbup:
I liked this image for sure, the details and the eye contact here are better.

This one is better with details highlighted.

The structure of the bill makes for the spillage of water, fun to watch :)

I liked both the images. This one enhances the water flow further. But I guess photographing the earlier one with such a low angle from a boat was more difficult. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. Love the action captured. I liked the earlier one better :).
Wondering how you shot this from the boat...:confused:... How did you hand-hold your monstrous photo-gear at that low angle???

Abhishek,
The boat was barely over water. You have to take into account the swaying of the boat and shoot.
