Nice interaction. Is this a crop or full frame image? A bit more space at the bottom showing the legs and a little bit at the right to get the wing in full would have been great.

As mentioned in your previous images, you could have done with a lower shutter speed to the tune of 1 and half stops. That would have given you a narrower aperture f5.6 or f7.1 or so and a better depth of field.

Overall a very interesting moment captured. I am sure it would have been exciting to watch this. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Surely a nice moment captured. The open beak adds lot of interest to the image. Agree about the space at the bottom. It is surely a rare behavior to photograph. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you sir and mrudul
The post is FF and more and very close to the sub.
Still I increased the f no to 4 from 2.8 and AV mode used so SS attained 1/8000.
But these settings in my last post done very well.
But once i want to try to shoot for a week so i can get few more shots like this .
and I invite everyone.
