All C&C welcome.

Well exposed Kaus, and I like the curves created by the neck. Good to see the eye of the fish, and Im sure he would need plenty of those to fill him up. :w3

Whites look good. I like that you can see the fish's eye. The green BG is nice. Only wish for a slight head turn towards the viewer.

[Grace Scalzo]

From ducks to egrets, your images are lovely. In this one I particularly like that we can see the bird's eye and the fish's. As for the head angle, you might have lost the sharpness if the bill if head was toward you and as the bird is concentrating on his prey, I'm ok with this head angle. Many will differ!

KD,

A simple, clean photograph of an elegant bird....but the look on that poor fish's face....it's almost as if it knows what's next...ha! Overcast conditions made for a beautiful exposure here. Thanks.

Hey Kaustubh,
Very nice action and pose. Love the BG here too! Very nicely done!

[Dave Leroy]

The nice clean bg and curves of the bird really make this one pop.

Fish is a real nice bonus.

Hi Kaustubh, Lovely bg, exposure and prey. Really wish for better HA.

Excellent Kaustubh!

[Aidan Briggs]

Good stuff Kaustubh! I like the green BG, prey, and soft light. I think the head is actually parallel to the sensor, but it appears turned away because the eye is looking at the fish instead of the camera.

Keep them coming!

What a brilliant exposure you have managed here . The fish in the beak is a sooper bonus !

[Ofer Levy]

Excellent shot! You did very well with the low light!

Nicely done here...Catch adds and the green BG is great!
