Very nice sharpness throughout Rick, and all at f5.6! You have a favourable wing position here. Just a thought but crop may be improved with some shaved off the left and some more room at the top (and less at the bottom).
Great eye contact from both bird and fish! Very sharp too. I'd like to see a little more separation between the bird's head and the far wing. Also, some Shadows/Highlights work will bring out some detail in the darker areas of the photo. Thanks for posting!
I agree with John Chardine's comment, but I love this shot still, A better wing position (going up) would've help to avoid the shadows and woul've gave you a better loking light, but as said, I love it anyway. Congratulations!!!
Love the claw on the fish and the perfect fish-angle :) Though lots of folks like this wing position, I do not. With the bird quartering towards you the wings-full-up position would have been a huge improvement. Definitely sharp.
