he was catching fish and fly straight to me . I shoot burst of 5 frames and this one was perfect because of his unique position of wings . This is real picture , nothing is add in photoshop except color adjustment and little rotation to get more dinamic image . He just lift unreal amount of watter . Unfortunatly fish is little behind and not clearly visible in his claws .

  What an awesome capture! I just saw this in The National Geographic, June 2007 issue. How cool to have one of your images published there! One day I hope to have an image of mine in an issue, but until then I have a lot to learn. So excited for you! Liz
