Today I found this guy working on a big breakfast of tasty carp. Surely amazing how much they can swallow in a single gulp. I took one image with the fish being dropped and suspended in air, which showed it off much better, but that image did not show off the bird very well. This one seems to me like the overall best of the series I took. All C & C is appreciated.

Thanks,
Wendell

Hi Wendell - Love the action - WOW that sure is a mouthfull.
Might desat the greens just a tad - on my screen looks like it is a bit contrasty - could back it off a bit perphaps.
Keep em coming.

wendel, great action shot, try and leave room for the virtual feet. Green might be too sat, but nice habitat shot. Your timing was perfect - congrats.

That was one big fish and one big swallow, and a nice round sharp yetllow eye you have there. Love the action in this shot, TFS. I would desaturate the background a bit to make the bird and fish stand out more, and maybe take a little off the top and left.
