Trophy catch for the bird at least. This photo was taken in Costa Rica, 03/12. Photo was taken from a tour boat. The fish is probably a tilapia.

Very intersting how the markings on the bird more or less mark that on the fish... totally different environs but similar masking techniques. I would try and adjust the WB to warm things up

A study in different camo techniques. The light under those cut banks is difficult. If it were mine, I'd tinker with the brightness and white balance to try and give the shot a bit more pop.

Yes, that is some catch nice work! Agree with warming it up a bit.
