Great shot Homer. Despite the obvious fish in its beak my eye goes straight to the birds eye as the focal point thanks to the slight head "tern" (sorry, I couldn't resist).

Nice shot. As others have said, great eye contact. Bird looks like it is suspended in air.

Agree with above. Can't help but notice the eye first. Do they have an eye ring?
Nice shot.
