Nice catch. Lovely view of the bird with great detail. I might try and desaturate the greens just a bit. The lores are fairly intense, but the added bonus would be that the fish might standout better from the background.

Love the action you've captured here Roger, big bird - little fish

Excellent timing & POV with the flying water drops a big plus..
Sharp details, great exposure & color - Nice work

Roger,
Agree with Angela on this one. Maybe a slight de-saturation. Great timing. Looks like he got some salad with his fish. Composition is good. You might selectively lighten the fish just a touch so it stands out a little bit more. Nice capture.
