Nature is Nature and Wildlife is wildlife!

We all know animals kill to eat etc etc...be it a fish, shark, fox, badger, bird, spider, tiger, lion, etc etc...you get the idea!

The shot in the above link I didnt mean too offend BUT...that is the way of the wild!...I just captured it in its natural state and am damn proud of it...not a shot you see often but its realism!!! Opinions please!!

I have seen that many times with osprey.I wish I had my camera back then.They dive into the water then a bout 30 seconds later come up with a little duck in their claws. That is how they eat and survive.It's not offensive, but a fantastic capture of Nature.I know this is probably why you got that lens, and am I ever wishing for one.

"The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions."

Not offensive at all. Just one helluva shot that you have every right to be darn proud of. #:O)

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

Yep, a shot you really can be proud of, jimbO! I don't think it's offensive... that's wildlife! But I have to admit the image touched me deeply. PhotoSmith said in his comment so well: "Most people have the luxury of being several steps removed from killing what they eat. I'm thankful that I'm one." ... me too! :o)

I agree! Seeing the food chain at work isn't my favorite thing, (I'm a bit squeemish) but this shot is amazing! I can appreciate it for what it is, an amazing capture of a magnificent animal. I'm glad you posted it and you should be dang proud of it. :)
