Thanks Arash & Steve, kicking myself a bit was going to crop a bit and decided not to! The skipper tossed mackerel into the sea but never in the right place! It was mayhem most of the time.

Jon, great image, full of action. The bird does not look like he is going to share that fish with you!

I can see this image would work with a tighter crop, but I like it as posted. Great exposure and detail. The colour looks very good.

Great action and details. Love the fish and the water droplets. I don't like the wing position all that much and wish the front wing was fully extended. Also the part of the back wing that is curled down and sticking out on top of the head I find a little distracting.
