A rare shot. I like the expression in the eyes of the fish and the bird separately. :)

This would make an excellent photo of just the bird. The fish seemingly looking into the camera makes it absolutely marvellous!

I can hear the bird say "I am watching you too!", and the fish shouting out loud "Help me!". Congratulations for this expressive shot.

Location
I took this shot in Saadani Park, it's in Tanzania, during a boat cruise.Time
It was early morning, 7:44.Lighting
There was nothing great about light. Just grey and no the sun. But, fortunately, the kingfisher let us to came closer, so i was able to took this series.Equipment
I used Nikon D4, lens 70-200 f/2.8 plus converter X2Inspiration
My favorite things to take pictures - any kind of action. So, when i saw the kingfisher who was shaking a fish, i was very excited and inspired to took this series of pictures.Editing
I did a crop, and added more contrast.In my camera bag
I usually have zoom lens and wide angle lens. Plus few special things to clean lenses and camera.Feedback
You should just choose right settings and take a serial shots. And, be at the right place, at the right time!
