Superb capture of the action! You took the photo at the perfect moment with the fish centered within the open beak. Congratulations on your well deserved contest win!

Great action shot for the competition with excellent composition, focus is sharp and the muted background colors create a nice contrast to the color of the heron.

Excellent capture of a Heron getting ready for a fish diner. Natural colors and tones in the scene. Good lighting, nice detail, nice soft bokeh, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a very Beautiful Wildlife Photograph, well done!

    many thanks nik;
    1.they cannot cut the fish; it must be the head or tail
    2. head rather than tail because it is much heavier

This is a perfect shot of two animals in action. The photo is well focused and exposed. The bird shows refined details of beak and body. The dark background emphasizes the bird and its prey considerably. I appreciate the realism of color. The photo is well composed and adequately framed. The composition is balanced.
