Pond heron (Ardeola grayii) managed to catch a fish in bharatpur.

Canon EOS 1D Mark II, Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM, EF 2xII, ISO 400, f5.6, 1/160. Look forward to your comments.

The focus on the eye is great and i love that you are on the eye level while clicking it. The water dripping from the fish freezes the moment. The Jacana/Lapwing in the BG somewhat feels like a distraction in my opinion.

It is unfortunate that this fellow came into the picture just when it was squeezing the fish. I liked the droplets coming out of the mouth of the fish.

Well you did not have the time to wait for it to pass !!! You shot for the moment and you caught i well ! Love the capture !
If it was my shot, I would have stopped down atleast 2/3rds, but then that's me.

Rakesh,
I saw this fellow just when I was about to click. I am sure f7.1 or f8 would have given more dof. If I would have used a higher ISO then I could have easily increased it to f8.
