No image visible sir.

I fixed it so the image appears.

It's a great image too. Awesome bird, perch and bg. The fish puts it over the top. I like the comp too.

Great bird, perch, bg and details. I wish the bird gave us a little head turn or turned around showing us the chest. But the fish makes that a very small problem.
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Sparky,
Fantastic bird and I'm always a sucker for the added bonus of a catch! I agree that the HA could be slightly better....then the fish head would probably merge with the perch......so not a deal breaker for me of this stunning bird!

[Arthur Morris]

Hey Sparky, Killer bird and fish; love the twist of the fish. Had the bird turned its head towards us it would have lifted the fish a bit for sure :) (I am el capitan of the Head Angle Police :))

Big time welcome!

Perch and fish do it for me, were you in a blind. I can't get near these guys at all.

[Art Kornienko]

Artie, hard to slip anything by you and Axel.

Great comp and sharpness. Catch adds. Ditto head angle.
