Awesome, Tim! For me this is a particularly dynamic 'bird behavior in action' BIF image - no steady flight on evenly outstretched wings here, it looks like the bird has just snatched that fish from the look of the water droplets, and there's that great outstretched wing. About that wing, common advice is to leave room in the frame for the bird to fly into, which you've done here, but that wing just reaches down and nicely fills out the composition in the lower RH quarter of the frame. One of the best behavioral BIF images I've seen, nice one.

Cheers, David

I like the way you have caught this ,shadow from the wing does not help you but I do think you have made a cracking good job of this.

Hi Tim, this is a sweet shot. The shadow is what it is but I think the good look at both the bird's and fish's eye are awesome. Thanks for sharing

Great looking capture Tim. I like the good look at the head and the fish.
Yes I do wish it wasn't shadowed but a nice overall capture of a hard to get frame.
