    I like the composition and the wing position, the fish in the bill adds interest.
    Nice tones maybe you could get a tad more detail in the feet.
    I think the large crop has compromised quality just a little, perhaps a 1600px post would have been better??

    Whoaaa awesome Alex, you did a heck of a job with this winner! Love the flying position and the great look at the head. Wonderful with the fish en route to some lucky bird perhaps! No noise at 2500 well done.

    Image quality has held up nicely with the large crop. The pose is neat looks like the bird is falling. Like the fish as well.

    Looks more than fine to me. Great job with the exposure on a crapy day and a nice fish and wing position.
