Hi Glenn,
Just lovely - superb detail on the bird, the perch is not overwhelming and the salmon egg takes it over the top!
Best,
Nicki

The egg in the mouth makes this one special Glenn, this is great, if you got any horizontals that would be cool to see too!

[Doug Brown]

Awesome pose and techs, but the egg makes it special!

Other than said above I'd add that I like the unusual placement in the frame.

Not that I could even aspire to such an image, but my thoughts exactly Alan!

This is an amazing image, and as Alan suggests, could be the best ever made of this difficult species.
