Stunning capture. Love the BG, the angle, the pose and the fish is a HUGE plus. It looks as though he gave you a head turn just for the capture.
Absolutely gorgeous. Nothing to even quibble about. Well done!
what a deal he is even posing
Stuart, this is the best so far IMO. Pose, sharpnes, exposure, DOF and BG....all are terrific. Prey takes it even further up.
Stuart, love absolutely everything about this image. This one is perfect!

What a pleasing image, Stuart. Interesting, great details, and a smooth complimentary background. Love it.
Congrats on such a fine image Stuart! Looks like the KF turned your way just to show off the catch:cool:. Just an all around superb image.
Beautiful! Excellent look back pose great detail and that bg is stunning. The prey item is an added plus.
Thank you all so much for the kind words guys and girls. Much appreciated.
Stuart:
You have spent so much time with these guys that it really does look like he is saying " Hey Stuart, look what I caught today!"
Superb image.
Cheers

Super image, wonderful bkg and great bird pose. Well done.
killer bg and a great timing!!!!
Beautiful capture. Lovely perch and bg and the head turn is great.
Beautiful on all counts. And the prey seems very peaceful, not minding its fate at all.
Outstanding image.

Nothing more to add. I think the others have summed it up perfectly. Awesome capture!
This is a great shot Stuart. Nice eye contact with the two subjects, great detail, and you couldn't have asked for a better BG. You keep raising the bar. Well done.
Stu, they don't come better than this - WD mate!!!
A real cracker Stu.

Amazing capture Stuart like the Perch Bg and the catch here
Curious if you were in a blind. I can't get anywhere near a KF.
Well done bro. Love the catch and your persistence sure paid off. Huge congrats!
Nothing to add that others haven't said. It's all downhill for you after this one. :D
