all C&c welcomed.

Such a beauty Danny, the fish is a bonus for the bird and the frame. I would prefer a little more room around.

[Juan Aragonés]

A bit tight in the frame to my taste Danny, just a litle bit of more room at the left and right. The BG and light are fantastic and I know why you like this species because last year I had the oportunity to photograph KF and I can´t wait to repeat the experience :-)

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, angle, eye contact, BG and the fish adds to it. Another vote for more room. It looks as if the critical focus is in front of the bird.

[Morkel Erasmus]

ditto tightness, love the droplets. great shot, colours are vivid and catch a bonus

[Stu Bowie]

Super colours, lovely light, and I like the softer colours in the BG. His catch, and droplets add to the image.

Nice capture of a beutiful bird Danny :) as others have said I would also prefer just a bit more room all around.

Lovely image - all perfect for me, except the tightness as mentioned. Stunning bird!

[Ramon M. Casares]

I agree with the comments above about the tightness.
Great light, BG, perch, natural moment and detail tohugh. Congratulations!

[Paul Kusmin]

Wonderful shot, really nice BG, perch and of course bird.
The fish is the icing on the cake.
Seems a wee bit tight as far as cropping, a bit more space all around wouldn't hurt.

[Kobus Tollig]

Super perfect image. Amazing what the older cameras still do.....another vote for space

[Chris Kotze]

Great light ,colours and BG. Super catch

[Blake Shadle]

Outstanding work Danny. Exposure, lighting, and background are all great. I'm ok with the amount of room on the back, but the front definitely needs a little more room. Nice job.

[Danny Laredo]

Thank you all for your comments.

Bit tight as mentioned, but Boy! You have an wonderful capture, the prey is the icing on the fishcake. :D
