Sushi Time

[Don Lacy]

Here is a Reddish a shot on the west coast of Florida. Wondering if other feel this needs some rotation.

Don, very nice composition and low angle. water color is superb. I dont think it needs any rotation. Excellent timing.

[Sachin Saraf]

Love the BG and water color in this shot...nice and sharp...

[Melissa Groo]

Unbelievable. Just simply beautiful. Love everything about it. Well done. Esp that transition from sea to sky and the perfect timing for the prey.

Don:

The light angle really gives a strong sense of modeling, with nice sense of depth and detail in the bird.

Prey good, timing good, love the slightly mottled upper BG. Comp. very effective.

Pupil seems a bit bigger than expected with the level of the light, but perhaps he was really excited!

Rotation looks OK for me.

Cheers

Nice and low with great detail Don.

[Landon Starnes]

Fantastic image with a great angle and bg. The catch in a bonus!

[Arthur Morris]

Perhaps a fraction CW.... Good head position for the (very nice) pose with a nice fish. I am just not a big fan of sidelight for birds.....

[Dan Behm]

Now I like the drama created here by the side lighting, It adds an added element to the image, the catchlight in the eye and captured prey really grab me.. Love this Don

Excellent perspective here, together with good DOF. You have brought out the feather detail very well, and although just a tiddler, the catch does add interest. I too like the colour of the water.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Very nice shooting angle and great soft light...This is a really nicely presented image!

[Doug Brown]

Nice timing and good eye contact. Is it just me, or is your maximum sharpness behind the head? I'd selectively sharpen the head a bit.
