Very nice action on this youngster Phil, I would consider cloning out the black spot in the water behind the bird. devil

A fine catch of another youngster, Phil. This one will learn quickly that huge feet are an asset to these birds, even as adults.

Very dynamic image, Phil. Joyful pose and expression and fine techs. The repost is cleaner, but I wasn't bothered by the debris in the original image. You have mentioned two crop sizes - not sure which is it.
