I can't add anything extra to what's already been written, but it's a truly magnificent capture. The detailing is unbelievable in every aspect and I'd be beyond proud to have taken this. A true inspiration as are the other shots in your gallery.

This is a photo we all dream of capturing. This needs to be on the cover of National Geographic. Superior work.

This is such an amazing picture. Catching the bird diving in the water and out but with a fish in its mouth all at the same time has got to be good luck. I love the movement of the water. The colors in this bird are amazing this image is truly a great one.
