Nice capture! Good wing position, light, sharpness, and BG. The whites right at the base of the wing look a little hot IMO. I would also prefer the fish not to be blocking part of the bird, but there was nothing you could do about that.

Well done and keep them coming!!

Aidan,
Thanks for pointing out the hot spot. I'll take care of it.

Nice job handholding that rig, the fish adds a lot here!

The bird is angling away from us; the first rule of flight photography is to press the shutter button when the bird is flying towards you.

Light is harsh, image contrasty. A bit tight in the frame. Frame to large and BLACK. I do like the BKGR.
