I was on Texel (NL) last weekend and could make this picture:



Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing Jan!

Nice action shot. Love the concentration of the raptor however Mallard is not his size of prey :)
Would be nice to crop differently to exclude the half Mallard from the frame.

Great timing.
I would not exclude the mallard.
If the mallard would not be in the frame, we would say: "oh, too bad, that there is no eye contact und you can hardly see the eye...". With the mallard it is quite obvious to see, why there is no eye contact with the photographer....

Thanks for sharing, Jan!
Liebe Grüße,
