    Watched this guy for a while - catching these tiny fish - don't think these were going to satisfy him for very long - they are tiny little translucent things.

    Maybe a unconvetional pose/view (I have more conventional poses as well)
    Another shot from the river crawl.

    Perfect timing to show the fish halfway in the beak. I like the DOF shown in this, but would leave a bit more space for the rest of his legs. The whites look like they have been controlled nicely.

    Yes, perfect timing and a great low angle. Soft light and sharp with a nice COMP. The only thing that bugs me is the unfortunate stick behind the bird's legs.

    Thanks Artie - the great photo comments are good - the comments that contain constructive comments on HOW to improve - are PRICELESS and the reason that BPN is such a fantastic place, one on which you can learn and grow.

    Many thanks to all that work so hard to make this a great place to be.

    ;)

    Excellent timing, love the water droplets coming of the fish, layered back ground looks very nice too.

    Nice work.
