Terrific moment! I love it, but well, a bit more room wouldn't hurt, when I work with this birds while they are fiching I always make sure I have enough room in case an action lioke this happens, is better to crop a little bit than to loose a part of the bird, still, I love it! Congratulaitons!
Manos I like the image overall and the actiion but I would agree that some more space would be nice. I wish that the tip of the bill was in focus so a higher F stop setting might have helped.
Yes to too tight. The 1.4X TC should have been in your pocket! As is the fish would benefit from some selective sharpening. Sharp on the eye. The soft bill tip is mainly a result of the bird's head been angled away from you.
