Nice capture!
Congrats.
Very sharp image. Little shadow on the neck but it is not bothersome. Good job.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great capture of this behavior. Makes you wonder how he did it. Details and BG look good. I wish for a lower angle and a better head angle. Could you have moved to your left?

[Arthur Morris]

Sharp, with the two cool fish, but the shadow on the neck (caused by a poor light angle) does bother me.... The bird's head is turned too far away and the bill is a mess. Not much you could do about that except choose a more handsome subject (with three fish!) Lastly the birghtest whites are burned or very close to it.

[Kobus Tollig]

Great one here. Ditto artie.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

nice timing with beautiful soft/warm light!

[Jeremy Linning]

Great capture, love the detail in the two fish. Was this cropped much?

[Chris Kotze]

Thanks for all the comments. Jeremy it's full frame.
Technicals not to great however I wanted to share this catch with you. I defiantly have not seen a Heron catches two small little fish like this, no I lie he actually got this right 3 times.:D I took this shot out of the car and hence the shadow and angle.

Manos, with all due respect (and you know how much I love your photography), the light here is harsh and contrasty, those problems exacerbated by an incorrect light angle.
