Oh my, that is surely one big mouthfull! I might take a little off the left and top to really put the focus on the action...nice details and bg.

Here is the image with a little off the left and top and a little added to the right. Lightened the eye slightly. Hope you like the result.

Pretty amazing how much these birds try and eat. Like the details in the bird and fish. The repost looks better as well.
