    I found this file that I had processed buy not posted. Taken at my local pond in Pretoria, Its not often that these guys surface with a catch, so I was happy to come away with this shot. I wish the Fish had more detail, but thats how it looked. Taken early morning.

    Marvelous image. Superb moment captured. Great fish and it's orientation at his tip of the beak.
    Beautiful colors and composition.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Good reaction to catch this guy just as he emerged. Sometimes it seems difficult to get detail just after a bird comes up out of the water. Great look at the fish.

    A very good Moment and so a great picture for me.

    Did you forgot the "Theme" at the beginning ?
    it would be perfect ;)

    I like the composition, sharpness and the fish has an expression of pain to me after being impaled by that sharp beak. Well done Stu!

    Great timing in this one. The speared fish makes the image really interesting.
