I worked up this one, and would love some feedback on it. Chilkat River, Haines, AK.

Thanks for the CC.

I just want to say..... Wow...... excellent work..:cheers:

[Norm Dulak]

Very nice Matt!

The composition and background are excellent, and the image is very sharp and well exposed. The fish heightens my interest, as do the falling water droplets.
Well done! :cheers:

Nice wing position, flight angle, BG, and prey adds interest ... nicely done!

[Duane Noblick]

I like the wing position and the meal is an added bonus. I keep looking at the tail feathers mainly and they seem to be too smooth to me.

I like this a lot. Soft light and colours are awesome. Not crazy about the squarish presentation though and the fact the bird in so big in the frame.

[arash_hazeghi]

excellent pose and nice light, I would back off on noise reduction :S3:

[Dumay de Boulle]

Great wing position and catch adds. Exp looks good with superb flight angle. looking on a low quality monitor so I cant comment on the tex or NR...Lovely image Matt

[Mike Tracy]

Nice POV and the fish add intrest. I like the blueish colored background. Feather detail on the head seems to have been lost when applying NR.

[Art Kornienko]

Lovely pose Matt and I live everything about it except have to agree with Arash about backing off the NR.
