A Silent Call for Help - Marius Cepulis Photography
Carp - Game Over..!!! Osprey swoops to seize the prey, and lifts stunned looking fish straight out of the water.This is the jaw dropping moment that an osprey plucked a carp from a lake. At least, it was for his victim.The hopeless fish out of water's mouth was left agape at the surprise at being snatched from his natural habitat and lifted high into the air.Perhaps one should be wary of reading too much emotion in the facial expression of a fish, but this one was surely horrified at the prospect of becoming a bird of prey's next meal.
Marius Cepulis hid out in the reeds by the Birveta fishponds in Ignalina, Lithuania, for hours to capture the moment of the carp's demise. Marius has won a Lithuanian National Wildlife Photography Contest - 2013 for this image, which he has titled "A Silent Call for Help".
