I was a cool site to see this amazing bird hunting, and eating natural prey, and I was fortunate to have it only 10 minutes from my home here in southern Ontario.
Impressive image of this bird in a full dive !!! Excellent detail and sharp overall Could only wish he had turned a bit to make the eye more visible but love it as presented and sure wish it were mine !! Big Congrats !!!!
Quite an astounding capture. A bit of Shadow Highlight of Curves lightening might be in order. This ranks right up there with Chris Dodds diving gannet for difficulty rating...

Hi Raymond,
A bit of head turn would have been perfect.........but considering the degree of difficulty and everything else..........this is still stunning.
thanks everyone, I would have been really happy with some more eye, but not much I can do about this., the light was pretty flat, so it would take some better ps skills then I have to help this bird look good.
