Great capture here. Always love seeing good nature photos!

Also, I'm taking a guess that this is Hahn.


Thank you for comparing this image with the work of Richard hahn23. I take that as an extreme compliment.

I love this!

I think, though, that a bit of processing would have brought the fish's expression into focus so we could feel more of the story.

As is, it's all about the bird. But, if the fish were more in focus, then we'd have both sides of the story.

If I'd missed the DOF and couldn't clearly see the fish, I'd edit it with sharp dodge and burn brushes.

Still... a wonderful entry.
