Awesome pose and you have frozen it Perfectly .. I wish you could have some space on top

[Markus Jais]

You nailed that one. Fantastic action shot. I like the open wings. Great exposure.
I hope he did catch a fish.

Fantastic action shot. I like the crop, but wouldn't mind seeing more room for comparison. Gret job, I would love to see this as a larger file.

Love this one, with that lens he must have been pretty close, great job keeping him in the frame. That is one awesome pose and all the colors are wonderful. I'd also like a little more space up top and maybe a little in front of him also. Congrats

Great pose Arno. I wish you'd post at 1,024 pixels width so we could admire it even more. Exposure looks good as is framing. Super! :)

[Ken Watkins]

Great capture, did it get a great capture as well? It is one we all dream of!

[Dave Barnes]

Super capture Arno. Good lighting and nice angle.
Arno can you get a touch more detail out of the white feathers in PP and the yellow is clipped.( I checked in PS and I am sure this can be sorted in PP)

loved the action frozen and timing, good light too.. congrats..

Nice one Arno, well even if one alows more on top you may loose the reflection, hopefully we will be there in Oct, well done

[Arno Ellmer]

Thank you all for the positive comments and suggestions. They are all appreciated . I will try them out !

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cool pose, water colors and light. Adding to the other comments, does it need a bit CCW rotation?

[Arno Ellmer]

Thanks for the comments,Axel ! Never noticed ,but I suppose ,looking at the water some rotation is justified ! Thanks for pointing it out !
