Great capture .Nice perspective. Its enormous beak in comparision to a relatively small body is very much in evidence.The fish in its beak is an added bonus.. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. The beauty of the image, in my view, is larger than life-size of its stout bill by choosing the angle. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

This is an interesting image. The angle, though a little too steep, draws all attention to the huge bill. Nice that you made eye contact with the bird. The fish (and the eye contact with it :)) are a bonus.

A very handsome bird and certainly one of my personal favourites :). TFS
