    It looks very good for 1/320 sec Dan, nicely presented but I agree with your acknowledgement regarding angle.

    You know I like my low angles, but with a situation like this I would have pressed the shutter button regardless how high up I would be! Quite the catch. This is a cute grebe you got, but with a killer side to it. I only wish the fish's eye was more visible, but I like the image a lot.

    Well done on all counts. That is a pretty big fish for a pied-billed to handle.

    Does anyone know the fish species?
