A fish's worst nightmare

This bird was making a dive on a fish and pulled up about 2/3rds of the way down. We have been going though a real dry summer and fall and the water is so low in the pond the bird was fishing that the ospreys fishing it are swooping in to snatch fish rather than plunging into the water. I was in full camo hiding in the cattails as this bird came down right at me. One thing I have found with the Mk4 vs the 7D is the AI Servo AF is faster and can keep up with fast birds coming right at the camera. 7D had more problems keeping up.

I like the position of the bird, the light, and the nice eye contact for a head-on shot. Please view larger version. Thanks.
