This was taken on my first trip to DD. I also visited Corkscrew and Cedar Key. I'm still in awe of that area and can't wait to go back. Comments appreciated.

Excellent action and behavior. A vertical crop to place more emphasis on the bird's head and the fish would have more impact. Very nice as is too.

I agree with the crop suggestions. 50% off the right and some off the bottom would strengthen this a lot.

It's still a nice image as is.

Excellent exposure, excellent detail on the fish meal, I agree with the crop since the BG is a tad distracting, still very nice!! Congrats!!

I like your re-post, but I'd like to make it even tighter on the beak and fish. My recommendation is for an extreme crop - one with the fish in the lower right corner, and the bird's eye in the upper left. But I'm crazy like that.
