Wow, has this been photoshopped or did you actually capture this image in real time because it's an incredible capture!

The image has NOT been altered in any way. The only post-processing that was done is to convert the RAW image to JPG file format in Lr5 (Lightroom). I mainly photograph wildlife, mostly birds. To capture this image, I spent about an hour watching it and studying its behaviors. This is a member of the flycatcher family, which means that they catch their prey in mid-flight and then return to a perch before eating it. It was several months of trial and error to get this shot! :)
