Cool action, Sandy. I like the detail in the plumage and the prey. The whites on the face look a bit hot to me.

Nice pose with the meal. I took a look at the larger image in Photoshop. I think the black point needs to be set. It helps with overall contrast and color detail.

Got that wet look Sandy :smile: The eye is riveting in this and so bright, love it. The bonus is the pipe fish and makes this a great behaviour shot. Fascinating subject we don't have.

All the best Sandy.
