I bet those water drops look great in a large size of this image! I always enjoy images with prey suspended between parts of an open bill like this, Good timing.

Strong composition with the eye in the perfect spot Good detail in the white feathers and a pleasing bg Only a bird in full breeding plumage would have made it better !!! Big Congrats Jeroen !!!!!

Beautiful pastel colours in this Jeroen! Like the action but wish the meal was sharp as well.
