Thank you for looking.

Nice looking shot Tom. I like the action as well as the bg spectators. It looks a little bright or light on my monitor. Nice and sharp. Well done. Dave

Hey Tom - This is a fantastic feeding shot in my opinion. I've only seen a few of these merganser with big fish images. The light here provides quite a mood and I like the two birds in the background. The fish belly is a bit blown out and the images needs some CCW rotation. Glad to have you back on board.

Thanx guys for comments. The fish gut being blown out... nothing I can do here. Sun shining on wet white scales leaves next to no details to pick up. As for the rotation.... now I see it hehe :)

Needs a bit of CCW rotation . Wish those 2 birds were not in the frame . The feeding shot is keeping me glued to the screen . Perfectly captured !!!
