What a great habitat shot. I like how he is walking into the frame. Nice foreground, and very nice background. Larger photo shows the catchlight in his eye. Nice job.

sweet shot, Michael. I like the pose and prey, and the pebbles are a really nice setting--your DOF looks really good.

Nice detail and subject, Michael. I like the pose and the fish. On my work monitor, this looks like it could stand a brightness boost-the blacks are pretty blocked and it looks like you have room on the whites. :toast:

As good as it gets - excellent low angle, DOF and a bonus with the prey

Well chosen DOF for this particular photo. Everything important is really sharp. I like the shiny fish. Nice work.

I like the raised wings and the shiny catch, well done. Looks like this might be fun being so low using a ground pod.

Excellent depth of field and action here Michael, I think you could go a touch brighter. :toast:
