    Ofer:

    I like the foot up pose, prey item, lighting.

    I might try a version with the reflection slightly lower in luminosity, so it doesn't pull the eye so effectively. I find it pulls me out the bottom of the frame.

    Cheers

    I think Randy makes a good observation about the reflection. It is something I would have missed. I too like the raised foot & the prey in its beak. I also like the BG.

    Great low angle shot. Love the raised foot, eye contact and the food item in the beak.

    Ofer, very very nice. low angle, pose, bird angle, prey, IQ, BG....awesome shot. If mine, I'd clone out that one spot of debris on the water surface.

    Killer colors, nice angle and poseon the bird. The catch is a plus. Agree that the whites in the reflection are a bit overpowering. This was the first thing I noticed when looking at the picture.

    You may have Spring, but we have sweltering summer over here with little to photograph. However, it makes for a lot of time to process!
