This image shows the use of the pointed beak well. The hapless victim is stabbed by not one but two daggers and so it is game over.

This year, I couldn't go to either Bharatpur or Mangalajodi because of health issues. Hopefully will be there next year. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Wow what a big catch. You captured the right moment. Wish it was close for more details. Thanks for sharing.

Well timed beautiful capture.Thanks for sharing.

Is it a large crop? If so, I'm sure a much wider composition will work well. The crop has resulted in some detail loss. Lovely moment captured.

Thanks Patra Sir, Mrudul M'm ,Shyamala and Abhishek. Abhishek, Image is taken in Landscape and it is cropped as portrait, detail loss is definitely due to crop and also to capture the moment in hurried, may be due to incorrect focus. Thanks
