Lovely image, Mousam. Is this a composite, one image made from one or more others? If so, it needs to go in the Photo & Digital Art Gallery. If not, congrats.

My first impression was composite image. Then I looked for signs of that and couldn't find any. So then my thought was 2 birds chasing the other one to steal its fish. If that is the case then what a lucky shot!

Thanks for your comment sir. This is not composite image. Two Kingfisher following the 1st one for the fish. If you want I can submit the RAW image also. Thanks again Sir.

Thanks Sir, yes you are right. It is not composite image. Two Kingfisher chasing the 1st one for the fish and I was really lucky on that day and somehow manage to take this shot. Thanks again Sir.

Your word is good for me, Mousan. I could not tell for sure, and that is why I asked you. It is amazing you captured three at once. Very well done.

Different patterns on the tail feathers and wing feathers - this is no composite. When luck happens you gotta be prepared for it. You were. Awesome.

Great capture of the chase! Excellent image to get three in the frame and all sharp!
