Very nice light and pose! Exposure looks great and details are amazing, BG and ambient are fantastic, maybe a little more head turn towards you would've been better, and the little waves coming from the left lower corner suggest that something was thrown to the water, where you working with bait?
Congratulations on a great great shot!
Yes, a better head turn would have lit up the eye nicely...but as is I sorta like the way it is looking at where it seems to want to turn. I personally would prefer if the dark blue bands in LLC were not there, or at least toned down somewhat. Great wingspread!!
