I find this to be a very attractive image of this bird.  Great color and detail in the shoebill.  Of course showing its prey makes the image special IMHO.  Thanks for sharing.

I love the colors.  The Shoebill is a soft yet strong gray, and it more than holds its own against the greens.  Wading birds do have to go through a lot of work to eat.
