What a great action pose! The small shrimp in midair, within the open bill, are amazing. Superb timing to capture this split-second event. And you even managed beautiful lighting to illuminate this wonderful scene. Excellent work.

Terrific action shot- I like how the eye is focused on it's catch and the excellent illustration of feeding behavior.
