    Hi Miro, great low angle of capture, and it seems that he is fully aware of you. Whites look good, and love the flying droplets from shaking the fish. I would want a bit off the bottom, but since these guys have long legs, you need to leave that space for the virtual legs.

    I really like the action you have captured.
    IQ and whites are excellent.
    It is too bad that the water is so full of debris. This makes the FG less than appealing but if you crop it off then you lose the room for the "virtual legs",

    All very well done! Nothing you can do about all that debris but I do like how it quickly goes OOF behind the bird. Love the action with the head shake, flying droplets and a great angle on that poor fish! Also agree you need the foreground space for the virtual legs.

    nice dynamic frame with good exposure and sharp details, I would reduce the amount of empty space over his head a bit. There is a specular highlight in the lower left corner of the frame in your repost

    i love this action shot
    the exposure on the whites is fantastic, details are fantastic
    you may play with the composition a bit to arrive at the most optimum balance ,

    Nice action shot Miro. I like the exposure and details but I would crop tighter to concentrate on the fish and action and to lessed the impact of the debris i the water. Nice work
