It鈥檚 a once in a lifetime shot: A bald eagle reflected in perfect symmetry as it dives over a pond.

And it鈥檚 getting Canadian photographer Steve Biro a lot of attention online.

Biro caught the picture during a trip to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy in Vittoria, Ont. on May 4, but it wasn鈥檛 until this past week that the image took the internet by storm.

The photo quickly went viral, with people around the world sharing Biro鈥檚 image.

鈥淚t became quite overwhelming, to be honest, but it鈥檚 a lot of fun too,鈥� Biro said Thursday on CTV News Channel. 鈥淚t鈥檚 quite a wild ride.鈥�

An amateur photographer for about 10 years, this year鈥檚 trip to the Conservancy wasn鈥檛 Biro鈥檚 first, but it was the first time he managed to get the perfect shot he was after.

鈥淚 had in mind the type of shot I wanted to get,鈥� Biro said. 鈥淚 knew it would be tough.鈥�

Getting right up to the water鈥檚 edge, Biro waited on the ground with camera in hand, staking out the perfect shot.

As the eagle swooped over the pond, Biro took a 鈥渇ew hundred鈥� photos and tried to ignore the predatory bird鈥檚 glare

鈥淚 could tell he was annoyed with me being so close to the edge of the pond,鈥� Biro said. 鈥淭hat seemed to be his territory.鈥�

Biro says he knew that the bird would be close, but started to get a little nervous about how eagle was getting so close he could feel the breeze coming off his wings

鈥淚 did tell the people behind me if he landed on my head, 鈥楽omebody please get the shot,鈥欌�� Biro joked.

Capturing dive after dive, Biro managed to snag his perfect shot 鈥� with the eagle staring him down, its wings perfectly symmetrical in the water below him.

While he knew right away it was a great shot, Biro says he was surprised by just how much people took to it.

鈥淚 thought people would like it,鈥� Biro said. 鈥淸But] I didn鈥檛 expect quite the event that happened, to be quite honest.鈥�
