    An interesting moment you got here, Jeff. Exposure and colors look good to me. But have you considered reducing some of the empty room around the bird?

    A big mouthful. Compositions like this are prone to being awkward. Desmond's suggestion would help. Did you feed the bird? If not, where did it get the fish?

    No, I did not feed the bird. I was walking down the beach and saw this guy trying to finish this meal, I assume it came from the ocean (smile).

    Artie,

    I used your techniques and manufactured the catchlight, thanks. Probably not the best but it was my first attempt.

    Hey Jeff, The tighter crop is much better. And you did darn well with the catchlight. Maybe a teench smaller would be better but it looks pretty good as is and nobody noticed it :) Great head angle BTW. I am headed out into the heat for a walk.

    The new crop is a huge improvement. Love the fish, and the apparent struggle to get it down the hatch!
