Wow for the loon, ouch for the trout! I love the POV, the open mouth on both, the color & sharpness is superb. TFS.

[Shawn Zierman]

That is one mangled up trout! Don't tell me one of the chicks managed to get that down the hatch?!
Very nice image with tons of detail and great color.

[Bruce Spell]

I can sum this shot up with one word, awesome! Everything is spot on and works to elevate this image. After seeing this shot I'm afraid to post any more of my own, lol.

[shane shacaluga]

Cracking shot. Super details and the troat makes this one special.

I can see a strange vertical line beneath the chin of the bird and a couple of them beneath the pectoral fin of the fish. Could be ripples in the water or my ipad though.

Wonderful portrait Alan. Nicely done.

[Joe Murphy]

Spectacular shot Alan, right down to the fine droplets on the bird.

[Andre Pretorius]

Stunning image, Alan! Love the low angle, f11 to make sure all is crisp. You must have been very close to subject to use such a big F. Detail is fantastic. On the Mac the whites look a bit hot on throat of bird and underside of fish, maybe curves mask?

[Frank Schauf]

It doesn't get any better than this shot, perfect!

[vishaljadhav]

WOW
Thats close and love all the techs on it

[Daniel Cadieux]

Oh man this is awesome! My favorite part is the clear fresh water rumbling alongside the loon and the distorted lines within that water.

[Aidan Briggs]

Awesome. Great light and exposure handling. Love the trout. On my monitor the image seems just a bit too yellow.

Great stuff!

[mohammad reza shahab]

[arash_hazeghi]

[Marina Scarr]

What a killer image, Alan. Love the water against the bird here and those greens you were able to bring out in the bird's head. Details are just over the top and the fish....!!!

[Girish Prahalad]
