    I like the feeding behavoiur, and of course the meal toss is cool. The foreground is rather dirty and IMO has negated the need for the reflection to be included in full. I'd crop until only the legs and bill remain below, but not before having done some CW rotation...and then adding some canvas back above.

    Good job overall though...I like the image!

    Much cleaner and more pleasing to the eyes! Great job

    BTW, had the water been clean on the original it would have been killer with the whole reflection...

    Very nice, I like the repost...Exp and colors are great. Still feels like it could have a 1 Degree CW rotation, but a minor nit for a lovely image! Lovely stuff Chad

    Chad, great IQ here, and you have nailed the exposure and sharpness. I like how you have timed the feeding behaviour, and good job on the repost.

    Repost looks nice! I can see some sharpening halo around the head - especially on the neck.

    Love the toss and the low angle. The repost looks better.

    Thanks guys,

    Those halos are only in the web sized image, It is very tough to size for web when black and blue edges touch.. any tricks for this? without taking the time to remove the halos from the web size image.

    Thanks again, Chad
