Perfect pose, love the wing positions. I do wish there was better tonality balance between them, but still good. The fish is a nice bonus. Comp-wise I would place the bird lower in the frame.

[Bill Jobes]

Outstanding capture.

Interesting the way the fish and foot cast shadows on the wing and tail feathers.

[Aidan Briggs]

Love the HA and the fish. Nice exposure and wing position too. I might crop a bit off the bottom and lighten the upper wing a bit.

Looking forward to more!!

I like the wing position, light and the fish adds to it. I would try to get more details in the blacks and tone down the brightest whites.

Ditto Daniel's comments on placing the bird lower in the frame. Love the flight pose and as mentioned the fish is a wonderful bonus. TFS.

I'm wondering about the two shadows, one on the wing and one on the tail. Is it natural or because of a second source?

Apart from that and the other things already mentioned, a great picture of a beautiful bird!

[Fabs Forns]

Beautiful pose and EXP control. Light difference in the wings mentioned. I'm fine with the comp as presented. FIsh a big bonus. TFS.

Nice flight pose and perfect exposure, the fish adds interest.
