Taken a couple of years ago on Fort Myers Beach, Florida. I've been to Florida many times and have never seen this before. Apparently these young eels were trapped in one of the lagoons and herons and egrets were going mad for them. I took many images but I really liked the shape of the eel in this one. 1D3 with 500mm f4L IS lens and 1.4 converter.

Wonderful shot, the sharpness of the Bird and the movement in part of the eel are just perfect.
