Wow you are so good at these! What timing. How long did you have to wait for this moment? Must have been a workout for your patience. Terrific action and detail.

Amazing and wonderful – great action, detail and light!! I could wish for a bit more room on the left, and would soften the area where the tail touches the edge of the frame, as the water weed there seems unnaturally sharp.

I agree that the image has a bit of an oversharpened look, but that does not take away that it is perfectly timed and perfectly composed.

Thank you so much friends 
@Kris_Smith When I see a photo opportunity, I can spend any length of time. 
Another fantastic result. Though the varied background is more distracting compared to your first post, I think the relationship between predator and prey is much more dynamic here, thanks to their placement and the curl in the fish.

That is a wonderful image! I have the darter’s close cousin the Anhinga roosting in my backyard but I have never even seen such an event as you captured.
