Great capture Willie! Not sure if I am imagining things but it sure looks like there is a baby bird nestled between those wings, is that possible?? All techs look great, thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so very much! No, it is just the bird and the fish.

A bummer that it has a tiny movement, a part from that, amazing shot and catch! The framing is perfect and the exposure too! Good job!

Such an amazing capture of this bird catching his dinner! You've caught a perfectly focused, close up photo and the water is glassy and clear. Beautiful photo!

Beautiful photo. This was a great phot catch. The sense of movement is so apparentt with the splash and ripples on the water. Nice job catching reflection in the water also. Jan

Great capture and your wait was so worth it. The drama of survival is all around us every day. I hate to mention that my puffer fish caught a smaller fish that I placed in her tank while I was moving tanks around. I wanted her to spit it out, but that clearly wasn't happening. Your shot is wonderful and the colors are astounding. Thank you for sharing, Blessings, Keri

Gorgeous! Love the colors here! Perfect capture with the wings spread as he is about to fly, details are great, the reflection of color in the water is a nice touch to make the heron stand out strong. Great catch

Ah, yes, the circle of life. What a fantastic capture! I have such admiration for the patience of wildlife photographers for this reason; as you said, you had to wait a long time. But the result appears worth it. Great composition, framing. Colors are perfect, as is the focus. The wood he was obviously perched on adds interest. Love the greenish tint to the water, which I'm guessing might come from the reflection of trees. But your subject is magnificent, especially with his catch and that wing span. Nice work!
