Great shot Ellen. The detail is great and love the fish in the beak, usually it is in the claws.

Ellen- Hey there my friend. What a wonderful and joyful time it has been to come back and see all the marvelous work you have been doing. One stunning picture after another. I have missed seeing your talented pictures.
What an awesome and exciting shot this is. Wow. To be able to catch a shot like this would make my heart beat like a drum. Not only is it such a spectacular bird, but to catch it with a fish in its mouth is out of this world. Now the way you caught it. So perfectly. Lighting and clarity are sensational. Colors rich and vivid. Details stunning.
Great work my friend.
Have a most wonderful day, take care, be safe. #5546225
