A remarkable catch. IT is amazing what these herons can swallow.

You have a nice spotlit appearance to this, and pleasing colors overall. I'd consider taking a bit more off the top.

That's one big catch, Sandipan. Excellent detail and a nice "catch" on your part. Did the Heron actually manage to swallow the whole thing?

Interesting behavioral image. Pops nicely off of the dark background. Well done.

Thank you all for the comments.
@Dennis - Yes, the heron did swallow the whole fish.
