    Hi John, love the soft light here, and I do like the fishing pose. Overall, tack sharp, and the detail shows up nicely. A lower angle would have put this over the top.

    I agree with Stu both on the pose and the wish for a lower angle. I'd say the bird could too with a drop in exposure and a boost in vibrance - it looks quite light compared to the ones I've seen

    Very nice.
    I agree with Mike re: drop exposure by 1/3 of a stop and Stu re: lower POV

    A bit bright overall, and yesa lower angle would have been excellent (if possible). The action is top notch, very sharp, with good wings positions and head angle.
