    Great pose, exposure control and eye contact. The fanned tail and fish add to it.

    Wonderful capture Fabs. You can count every feather on the wings and tail. These were one of my nemesis birds for a vary long time. I'm still hoping to catch on in flight someday.

    Super pose and great comp. Can see that you lost a bit of IQ because of crop. Dont you think you could add a bit of contrast?

    I am not a lover or highly sharpened nor very high contrast images.
    Thanks for your input. Let
    s keep in mind that 50% of 12 MPX was full frame only 3 years ago.

    Thanks everyone.

    Terrific capture - WOW!!! I agree with Kobus - my taste, though, not yours. :)
