Don't count that fish out yet, looks like the bird is in a comprimised position, and just how much did you pay them to pose for you?
That is one hell of a shot. I am not a nature shooter, but if I were, that is the action I would look for.
Kudos
I paid them with a lot of... attention.
Seriously, it was patience, and getting ready for the impending action. Thanks for the comment.

That shot should be worth stock-photo residuals forever. Never mind the obvious use on countless mag covers just now. Ad accounts should see endless potential with this. It needs good 'legal use' protection.
I'm not as heavy a shooter as others on this forum, tho photo nut for over 65 years. But I don't recall ever seeing a more spectacular still shot of an animal event.
Thanks for sharing......

Submit it Andy....you'll be on the payroll in no time
I'll just echo the the comments thus far and add I feel lucky to have seen this once in a lifetime image.

John,
It's alright to be redundant in this case. I'm counting all the Wows, still riding high after taken that shot. Thanks much for the uplifting comment.

The first thing that struck me was the sharpness of this image. Even the water dropplets are sharp and the action being frozen at just the right time.
