Big bite

[Brutus Ostling]

Cropped for a spread, so that the beak, fish and eyes will not fall into the middle of the spread, where they disappear into the binding of a book

Great action and the composition really works for me! The image seems to have a fair amount of noise though.

[Stephen Stephen]

I love this composition. I agree with Doug about the noise, particularly behind the bird's back.

As I mainly work with large books (and large files) I didn't care to blur the background after sharpening the photo when downsizing it. These small photos are just for a quick viewing, I was thinking. Sorry. I hope this will be better.

I concur with the others.....great crop but there is noise. Love that action and the angle of the head with the fish. I still see noise in the repost....noticeable in the underneath of the wings.

Brutus nice bit of a nice bit of action captured I like your choice for composition not taking away from the moment.

Hi Brutus,

Love the action and behavior. I would remove some of the noise as is very visible.

Great eye contact and action!!!
