Nice action and good work on the whites. It's just a bit soft to my eye. You might be able to shift the focus of attention to the captured prey by bring the bird's bill to the center of the picture.

Nice fishing pose, Peter. I particularly like the breeding plumes. The bg is awfully busy-this is a case where a lower dof might have helped a bit.

Really nice action and it looks pretty sharp to me Peter, I agree with Dennis, probably F8 or so would have been better to blur the bg, although it looks pretty close to the bird.
