Fish for Dinner

←Back

A fishing goosander (Mergus merganser) (Am.: Common merganser)
with a catch of perch (Perca fluviatilis).

Two or several birds line up and dive in coordination to make an organized under water chase of the fish. Two mallards are lurking in the background hoping for an escape of the wounded fish... I couldn't decide on wether cropping them out or leave them as this... I think this composition adds to the "story". Any comments?

Cheers, Jens

I like it as is. From the story you are telling, the two birds have their importance. Nice one, that 300mm OM sure did a fine job.
