    Default GBH with bigger catch

    Right through the eye. He flew away to shake the fish off his beak. Lighting conditions were not the best. Uncropped. The head seems soft or oof to me, but liked the action on this one.

    20D, 300 F4LIS +1.4, ISO 400, F6.3, 1/3200

    Photographed where? Cool fish. Yes to harsh light. Again the direction of the light is problematic, as it the head angle. When working in bright sun it is imperative to have your shadow pointed directly at the subject. Period :)

    Thanks, Artie, I should know better, but didn't feel like sitting at home in the afternoon. Photographed by a small river (with a small waterfall in the bg top right corner, near where I live, Casselman, Ontario (50 KM east of Ottawa).

    I should have mentioned that using lots of flash to light up the shadows while dialing down the ambient exposure would have helped.

    That is one way to stab a fish. I like the captured moment, adding to Artie's comments, I might sharpen bird and fish more and maybe remove the biggest of the specular highlights.
