    Taken a few years ago at Ft Desoto I could not believe my eyes when I saw this GBH strike the water and come up with a 12 to 14 inch Grouper and yes he flew away with it and no i do not if he was able to eat it my guess would be no but you never know with these guys.

    Don:

    Remarkable catch here. The action helps distract form the light angle well off to the left, leaving parts of the bird in shadow. The fish is well lit however:)
    Sharp, with good exposure.
    I might be tempted to crop up from the bottom to just above the wing tips in the reflection, and might also consider a crop from above to just below the beach.
    Lots of debris in the water, but the action is so strong it carries the image.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Don, awesome action captured in this one. I also like the raised wings along with the look in his eye. The colorful grouper adds a lot. If you could slightly brighten up the shadowed side of the head, it would make this great capture even better.
