An Alligator Gar leaps out of the water with a fish that the Osprey has crashed down to catch. The action was caught with a Nikon D500 and the entire drama played out in about 1/2 second. This was taken at Lake Jesup near Orlando, FL.

Wow! Great capture.
Thank you very much.
I would feel so lucky to have gotten to see this let alone take it!
Ironically, I couldn't see any of the action until I got home and viewed the photos. The mirror/shutter on the D500 blocks the view through the viewfinder. Needless to say it was a very pleasant surprise!
That has to be a once-in-a-lifetime capture! Gar, stealing a fish from an osprey!
Totally agree. I can only hope for something different...and maybe a little closer.
amazing!
An incredible moment, just wish the edit were more inspiring.
