Perfect flight pose, Morkel. I personally find it a bit tight and while I am no fan of making changes to images, I think I'd remove the white spots on this one. Love the perfect angle here.

This image conveys great power and intensity. Nice angle and intense colors.

Morkel, I have been to Africa twice, but was never this close to a fish eagle. The low angle view is fantastic, light is a bit strong, but you handled the exposure well. I too feel this is a bit tight. Loi
