A few years ago I was set up with the 2x on an owl nest hoping the babies would be active. Fish guts started dropping around me and I looked up and realized I was directly underneath this bird. He furiously gobbled the fish down as an eagle approached.

An unusual angle, Rocky. Quite interesting.

Seems a little dark on my monitor. An interesting shot, very unique angle - not quite sure if it works for me but I certainly appreciate the creativity!

I like the steep angle here - it's a little dark - but you'll have to be careful since you've got the bright whites in the head. The fish tail is a nice touch.

The angle is a bit rough as it is very steep. The type of thing that happens when you stand under the bird. :wink: The scan is a bit contrasty. Is this the way the slide looks too?

Rocky,

This is an interesting view of this action. I think I would consider cropping some of the wing on the left. Nice work.

A tough angle Rocky. A little dark overall.
