    Like the detail and eye contact. It'd be nice if the fish's head was facing us. I wish the shadow of the bird wasn't so strong on the perch. Remember that you can post pics that are 1024 pixels wide or 800 high.

    Nico, I like the sharp details and the BG is nice. I agree w/ Doug regarding the shadow on the perch. Nice catch!:)

    Nico, great moment captured. I too agree with Doug on the shadow distracting a bit but still a good image of a cool bird.

    Cheers,

    Thats a fair size fish for the giant Nico. Good overall detail, and yet another killer BG from Mankwe.
