Big catch. Good you could capture the right moment. The vertical composition looks good. I think it moved its head, so the eye is not sharp. Thanks for sharing.

Nice testament of a Darter piercing the catfish Magur (in Bengali) with its spear-like bill. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

The fish adds a lot to the image. The shutter speed was slow. You have to watch out to catch it when the bird is still for a moment. Clicking during that time helps get sharper image even at lower shutter speed. Anticipation is the key. With each passing year of observing these birds, our skills at understanding their behaviour and anticipation improves. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
