That is a very fine shot.

Took your image up to the largest resolution ... and then some.

Whatever editing/post processing you may ... may have performed ... was done with a deft and light touch.

Great natural looking colour, wonderful clarity ... well-balanced presentation and composition.

Thanks for sharing this one with us.

Ditto to all of the above, and I can't help but add that your subject must have a digestive system made of tough stuff to be eating those dangerous barbs on that catfish. Perhaps he has tools about back that we aren't allowed to see???

:)

Nice one, my friend.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

I do not photo shop any of my photos. The odd one may be slightly cropped!!! They are as I have taken them. NO touching up!!!

INCREDIBLE SHOT!!!!!!!!!!! I adore the movement you have captured in this most amazing shot. You can almost feel the fish struggling in his mouth as all those water droplets fly away. Just gave this a 10/10 and it is more than well deserved!!!

This is the kind of thing you'd expect to see in National Geographic. Very well done, love the composition and detail.

Great action photo Robert. Colors and clarity are perfect. This belongs in an outdoor magazine.

Another keep-pah! Weird looking fish the heron caught-some kind of catfish but I never seen one that color.
