I managed to grab a few images before this bird flew off, he was looking intently at the water watching the shoals of young fish.
All C&C welcome.
Nice portrait of this guy Jonathan. Exposure and sharpness look pretty good. Hope you were able to capture the take off/flight images as well.

Hi Jonathan, good to see this guy on a different perch. Well exposed in the bright light with good detail in the blacks. Same question - any take-off flight shots?
One of my favourite subjects Jonathan:) Well exposed, sharp, and stands out nicely against the water BG. Another member interested if you got the take off shot:w I would maybe take a touch off the top.
Thanks for the feedback everyone glad you liked it. I don't have take off .... but I do have some hovering - just thought I would wet your appetite!
I was a little cautious this time over cropping as last time I overdid it slightly - resulting in image quality loss - I suspect I will have similar difficulties with the in flight shots.
Love the pose, sharpness and exposure. Great light and a nice sky BG. I'd crop a bit off the top, and if your ethics permit it, I'd clean up some of the whitewash. Nice photo overall!
