    Great catch, Petri. Love it that you got the fish too. On my monitor it looks like the darks could be opened up a bit. Not an easy feat to get these guys in flight--let alone with a meal!

    Yes, thanks Your answer. Maybe could be more light. Black and white is always difficult. My scereen look like quite okey. But I'll take Your word seriously...

    Very sharp and well exposed. It's nice that the bird is positioned in the sky. The meal is a big plus. I would prefer a more dynamic wing position, and I'd try to bring out more detail in the eye.

    Very nice capture, these birds are tough to catch in flight. Fish in mouth a plus, well done.

    must have been difficult subject to expose :) very well done with the kind of bg you have. may be a space around overall can be good as its little tight.
