Excellent image of beautiful bird with nice looking fish. I like the blue water as well.

Thank you Satish...It was really exciting the first time I saw this bird swallow a fish.

nice image, love the action and the fish, a bluegill. the head and bill might be a tad soft, I cannot tell for sure. you know, if I had a D750, which are awesome at higher iso, I would get that iso up to at least 800, and you can then have a much faster shutter speed for handheld shots.

You got both the Anhinga and the fish with a good angle. This image is sharp but in general shooting birds at ISO200 is a recipe for disaster, make sure your shutter speed stays faster. My minimum ISO for birds shots is ISO 800.

Getting down for a lower angle will significantly improve a shot like this by providing more separation between the bird and the water which is a bit choppy and distracting here
