A Caspian Tern flips a traumatised Needlefish in midair, for easier swallowing. Shot handheld from a boat, Rio Lagartos, Yucatan, Mexico, 28 Feb 2012.

P.S. Actual aperture was f/10.0, not f/9.5; PF's dropdown aperture menu does not include this option

Although I like wildlife shots with some background showing their habitat, this one was amazing. Congratulations on the 3rd position.
