Spectacular in flight catch image Jan, with perfect wing arch. Might take the exposure down -.25
Was this a baited attempt? If not, even more special. Nice Tiger BTW ;)

[Betsie Storm]

Lovely image, Jan. I like the underwing detail, water reflection on feathers, the long stretched-out pose (never seen that before), the catch & splash. Share some more if you have! Think I agree with Marc on exposure, a tad darker will make it better.

Great moment captured, I like the wing position, eye contact and the catch adds to it. I would tone down the whites, I agree that 0 or -0.33 EC would have helped with it.

Great action shot, but needs a little adjustment as suggested above.

Lovely.

Incredible timing on this shot. I really like the captured action here! Nice color in the fish tail also. Wish this one was mine!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Congratulations Jan your timing was perfect. Superb action. The splash and the fish put this over the top for me.

[Jan Fourie]

No There was 2 fish eagles the one got the baited fish and this one came back circled and went for the small Tigerfish.
