A dynamic action shot captures a Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) in the water at Lac de Der, having just caught a sizeable silver fish. The bird's head is tilted back, its yellow gular pouch visible as its beak is wide open to manipulate the fish. Water splashes around its head, frozen in time, highlighting the intensity of the moment. The murky brown water reflects the reeds that line the bank in the background. The image powerfully portrays a raw moment of survival in the wild.
