loved the eye contact and pose here, nice details and the fish making the bill be slightly open, adds greatly.. well done.

This is perfect Michael. The wing position, prey, catchlight, exposure....loved it. good call on f-stop. Thx for sharing.

One suggestion is to move the bird a little lower in the frame.

Very pristine presentation with a nice dorsal view, nailed EXP and the fish is a bonus. I'd mask some sharpening off the wingtips, they compete with the face.

Michael, Beautiful sharp details and the exposure looks great. I absolutely love the pose and the fish makes it even better.

[Katie Rupp]

This is just beautiful, great pose, sharp and fish with open bill. And I agree with Fabs, you really nailed the exposure.

Tremendous for all the reasons mentioned Michael. Nothing to add except "well done!"
