Eye contact doesn't matter so much to me here- this guy is clearly focused on his mission. Nice exposure and sharpness!

Could you post the EXIF and equipment?

Thanks for sharing!

Welcome Zethar, Another good critique by Mr. Knight. And I agree. I like how the yellow fish matches the yellow eye. Where are you from? Where was the image created? Do you know the type of fish?

[zethar zethar]

Thank you fellas.

I live in Canada where the image was captured. This is a male Osprey taking its catch back to its nest where his mate was eagerly waiting.

I believe the fish is a Spotted Suckerfish -- a bottom dweller as you can see by the location of its mouth.

Nice image and welcome. Exposure looks pretty good as does the detail. Possibly a little more above if you have it or perhaps canvas extension. TFS
