Hi Gus,
Nice capture of this patient fellow! It amazes me how long they will just stand there and wait for a fish to come by.
I like the composition, color, and details. I'm seeing the tiniest bit of sharpening haloes here and there. Did you do some burning in the cheek area (behind and below the eye)? The plumage there seems a bit flat to my eye. Nice catch by both of you! :)

Gus, it that all he has to show for his efforts. Not much more than a snack.

Well done, agree with Kerry on the cheek.

Hope he was able to find more for his breakfast! Very nice capture! I too notice the apparent burning on his face and neck, and a bit of haloing mostly around the "snack."

Hi Gus Love the action !! Processing looks a little weird on this one? Feathers on the body look fine but around the neck they have a strange look, not sure what is going on !!!
