    Hi Mark

    Nice shot with good sharpness & detail, esp since shot from a boat... Not the usual pose of a bird I would love to see close up one day.

    Awesome shot here. Really like seeing both eyes, beak open with great detail. Perch is great and anchors the photo nicely. Exposure looks nice and great to see the talons. Keep em' coming love these guys!

    Tonality looks fine to me. In an ideal world, choosing a sensor left of center would have placed the bird on the left side of the frame (looking a bit to its left, our right). Still and outstanding image with great sharpness and a perfect EXP. Mark traveled from Australia to join Robert O'Toole and I on the Homer IPT. He's a rather nice bloke! And it's great to see him posting here.

    Great pose -- not your usual Beagle shot. Techs look good, and I'm OK with the comp although I can see Artie's point.

    Tremendous and unusual pose, I really like this and the habitat setting its within. Makes me want to see more of it, but see its full frame, co crop. Techs are all spot on...Just a Great image. A sensor point adjustment as artie suggested but Its awesome as is.

    Beautiful behavioural capture! I think the exposure is perfect the way it is.
