Awesome catch for you and the bird - would like a little more room on the left hand side but not too tight as presented. Great fish and nice look at the eye

Nice timing on this one Steve. Many times they are stealing these form other birds like ducks....nice to see one do his own work for a change. :biggrin:

Excellent action shot Steve. Perfect timing. The large image is nice and sharp. The Canon 400 5.6 still delivers after all these years. :toast:

nice action--that's a great pose with prey and raised wings. I like the choice of comp.
