Terrific picture. It really looks great in the larger size. Love the action and the pebbly background

Nice angle and dof. Also good habitat shot. The larger image really looks good.

Nice pose and setting. I especially like all the pebbles. I like the water dripping off whatever he has in his beak. I'm pretty sure it's water but it's a little hard to tell for sure. On my monitor it looks like it could use a little more contrast.

Nice low angle Michael and the prey (?) in the bill adds interest as does the pebbly, shell strewn beach.
