Hello,

mangigique cet oiseua qui a attrapé une truite pour se rourrier, très belle iamge avec le mouvement de l'eau, superbe.

Bravo et amitiés

Nicou

Great capture Fatih. Excellent sharpness, with perfect timing. Good color and exposure.

My only complaint is the blotch in the upper right. Whether that is a spot on the camera or something in the water it is distracting and would be easy to clone out.

TFS,
David

Nice capture, you were lucky to be there as the bird made its catch (it looks like a trout, but I'm no expert). Great sharpness, great focus, very well done photograph. I agree with jamfest about the spot in the upper right though, but thats easy to remove. TFS

WOW!!! Great shot. The bird with its dinner should have been centered a bit but it is hard to capture... I love the picture...

This is a wonderful shot. Great capture. The explanation of the mosquito clarifies the spot it's become, which in line with the heads of the bird and fish as well as the wake of the water, make for a terrific triangular composition.
Well done,
Jim

Hi Fatih,
Marvellous capture of this bird! Wonderful sharpness and detail and very nice colors.

¡Una fabulosa instantánea Fatih!
Impresionante momento y fantásticos colores.
Una obra maestra.
Saludos, JL.

Hi faith,
Great capture for both you and the Grebe. Excellent image, very sharp and lovely lighting. The fish is definitely a trout! Perhaps it was rising to take the mosquito! :)

TFS,

John

Hi Fatih,
Great capture for both you and the Grebe, it looks like he has caught a Trout rather than a Carp, did he actually eat the fish as it looks way too big, you have captured the colours and details well though I would have cropped out the Mosquito as it just looks like a dirt mark.
Well done
Regards Andy

Talk about perfect timing Fatih,the fish looks rather big for the Grebe to swallow.Very sharp details,vibrant action shotI like the ripples & bubbles in the water,showing the bird has just surfaced with its rather large catch which I think is a trout.

Gorgeous capture at a decisive moment indeed!
The way the Grebe hold the fish so thight in its beak is great! Since there isn't a lot of red and yellow in the image, the focus is more easily placed on the head of the bird. Nice ripples in the water.
congrats

cheers

Joris

hi, excellent capture, seems it is sinking from the weight of its big capture!
