Oriental Darter, after being cornered by Large Cormorant on one side and attacked by Large Egret on the other side, prefers to drop the fish and go under water.

Hi Jagdeep, you have captured a fascinating glimpse of nature that probably plays out on a daily basis all over the world, the competition for food. The air-borne water droplets and the egret’s feet just above the water help to reinforce the action, as do the splashes made by the quickly departing Darter. Nicely done in all respects.
Hi Jagdeep, terrific behavioral image showing the interaction so well. Love having the Darter’s head just sticking out of the water as well as the fish in full view. Sharpness of the egret, darter, and fish is spot on. Well done.
