Darn!
Lack of focus? Out of practice? Just bad luck? Hard to say as this eagle just missed its lunch order which is hanging in the air just behind it. Apparently it at least got a claw on it otherwise the fish wouldn't be in the air like this. I sometimes wonder what reaction the eagle has for missing a fish like this.
I think it's just incredible to see the action stopped like this, the eagle flying on with it's claws clutched, the fish high in the air, and the splash of water still hanging in the air from the eagles grab attempt. This happens so fast that only a fast shutter speed lets us see what happens at that precise moment in time.
