    Default GGOW Diving for Prey.

    I posted one shot of this dive earlier.
    As I have never seen a GGOW picture posted while it was diving,
    I thought that I would post two more shots if you don't mind.
    No feeding, no baiting, natural hunt.
    The bird moved on, this wast the last full day whith him/her.
    Thanks for looking.

    Well nailed Karl! There won't be many images around like this. If this is full frame then being tight in frame is a small price to pay.

    Pretty cool Karl. I do wish for just a peek of eye contact though. Cool look at the topside

    Pretty darn cool and I even like the BKGR. I do wish that the bird were a bit higher so that there was no merge between the bottom of the face and the ground....

    Lovely capture Karl. A really dynamic pose and lots of detail in all the feathers. Nice bg as well.

    Hi Karl,
    I have already commented on this image from other site. Still think it is very unusual but great,

    Hi Karl, your series of these guys has been outstanding. In this, great dorsal view, sharp with oodles of detail. I like the softer colours of the BG, and agree a little hint of eye would have been even better. Still well captured.

    Very unusual and great pose. Yeah....a hair more visible on the eyes would be nice.....but that doesn't come around very often and you should be thrilled with this one!

    I like the dive pose and dynamics, it's a bit too big in the frame for me
