This shot is what nature and wildlife photographers dream of.
Talent prevails over equipment. A true Earthshot.
Jamie
Wonderful capture, great composition.

Simply Amazing.
I whole heartedly agree with Ann. Its the photographer who takes a great picture not the camera. Just out of curiosity, I’d like to know whether this is the full shot or is this a crop of a larger image? If its the former then this is truly a class image Twice over.

This is what can’t be seen with naked eye & what photography is all about . A revelation .

You obviously know your stuff, Edri. This is a remarkable and exciting shot, pin sharp and well balanced exposure. I bet you couldn’t wait to get back to the computer to have a look at it on screen and make sure the file was safely backed up a dozen times at the very least. Israel has such perfect light.
