Neat photo overall. I like the lines on the wing's primaries. I agree with a bit of CW rotation (just to get the ripples level), and I seem to detect some repeating patterns below the empty talon.
Love the neat one-footed fish grab pose and the nice golden water. Sharp, with great far wing underwing detail. The whites in the head seem to have a blue cast.
Was this bird baited?

Very nice capture, Jan. You got some nice overall detail considering the lighting conditions. Would agree that the whites could be a little whiter - at least on my monitor. Still, it's a great image.
