    Beautiful colours, low angle, fish. I love the in-focus little wavelets. Great job with the whites. Not crazy about the far shoreline skimming the top of the back, but all else look good to me.

    Killer image. Love the bird against that dark blue water. BG doesn't bother me at all. Love seeing the fish although a fish eye would have made it even better. I would shave off a sliver off of the bottom.

    Hi Frank, great low shooting angle, and overall, well exposed. His catch a bonus. I would maybe take a bit off the bottom.

    Great win for the Netherlands over Spain.

    Spectacular image. Very nicely exposed bird on beautiful blues.I like the use of spoons to hold the fish and red eye.
    Beautiful composition too.

    Regards,

    Stunning image Frank. Love the light, the perfect exposure and details.
    The low shooting angle and the timing is perfect. Killer!
