My name is Paul J. Marto and I shot this Osprey in Orange County, California. I used my Canon 7D with a 100-400mm zoom lens.
The mighty Osprey is seen snatching a large Rainbow Trout out of the lake. When I set out to catch these magnificent raptors in action, I never dreamed that I would be so lucky as to get a shot like this. A classic case of 'right place, right time' I guess. Frozen in time, this huge Osprey has just secured a meal and is seen exiting the water with his prize.
