It's not very good picture and I think I know the flaws.
Two of my friends saw this one in a large size and didn't understood what is going on. Very important to me and I'm very curious to know if it's clear enough. To me it's very clear :lol:
Love to read your comments. Thank you for looking.

Fantastic action, it's clear enough to me that you've caught this guy in the middle of his dinner.

I would use a little s/h to open the blacks up a bit here Haim.
A little more dof would have been nice if you could have raised the iso to achieve it.

you can even see how the bird uses the back of its tongue to help push things down. This is very cool. Though more DOF would be nice. The action here is awesome though! :D

An amazing capture! As said, some s/h would enhance this image greatly.

Great timing to catch the fish going down the throat, Haim.
