Last day, less than 8 hours to go, and I'm at 7.13!! How exciting!!
I love the movement in this shot. It was taken down in Florida on my trip with my son (jcar) and ja-9.
There were actually two herons on the beach. This was when the first heron took exception to the second one being around, and he started to run after him. I tried to get a good shot when he actually flew at him, but that didn't work out.
These were the other options. I adored this one:
Here's more of him running:

Question: Was this shot at 600mm and I believe handheld?
It's recorded at 226mm -- and definitely cropped in. It was handheld -- a little soft in places, so some extra sharpening applied.
The lens is extremely difficult to handhold at 600mm, but I'm getting a little more used to it, and I've had some successful handheld shots at that distance. I'm trying to use a tripod or a monopod with it, if possible.
