Hi David. Good to see someone with the same camera/lens combo as me. This is quite a striking shot. I like the clarity, wing and tail detail and the background colour. There appears to be some blown highlights on the body and above the eye. Thank you for sharing.

This is a species that is very high on my lifetime list of birds to get. They re just so majestic looking with that bright red beak and that long tail. One of these guys banking, with a fish in it's beak, and with a Frigate bird right on his butt is etched in my mental hard drive. One day!
This looks great as we don't get to see these guys to often, especially close up. I don't mind the whites at all and they look about right to me as they are white and not greyed out.
The pose isn't to bad but if the head weren't intersecting the wing, it would be better. The main thing I see right away is the water color and the noise in it.
I know the water can be very blue, and this might be close to what it was, but I would select the blue channel in "hue/saturation" and lower it by quite a bit. Then a good NR round or two depending on your software. Very nice capture

P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You.

Beautiful shot but all the colours look a little saturated, possibly the contrast is a little high also, I look forward to a repost if you are inclined.

Thank you, Jonathan and all. Let me think about the comments and do some adjusting. If I really like any newer version I'll re-post.
