neat shot, Reiner--that's quite a meal. I like the colors of the fish and seaweed and how they are reflected in the water. I might compose it with the bird a bit farther to the right.

I like the composition and the direct stare from the Eagle, Reiner. The left side of the head does look a bit overexposed-difficult to avoid in full sun on this species.

Good view from the water. I believe I would try to get the whites of the head down enough to show more detail. The left side of the eagle's head looks at or near gamut on my monitor.

Nice capture. I agree on the partially blown whites. Also, I feel that the fish is a bit overwhelming in the image. However. you can't control that. Well done.
