    Will:

    Nice look back pose, prey, lichen.

    Even though he is looking back at us, I would prefer a bit more room on the right if you have it, as he seems a bit crowded on the right.

    Cheers

    The head turn makes this shot Will, giving us a good look both at the back of the bird and the all important head. Bright light dealt with well, and the fish is a welcome bonus. Very nice work

    I'm with Mike on this one. The head turn is great...as is the mauled fish. BG is lovely. They are such elegant birds and you have captured that elegance. My only very minor nit is the darker area on the rock below his tail. It draws my eye a little.

    Beautiful Will!
