Pete, Excellent low angle. Like how the water is out of focus, in focus around the bird, and then out of focus again. I think this brings better attention to the bird.

Great low angle and the fish adds to it, Pete. I can imagine that feeding all those chicks is a full-time job.

This is such a lovely capture. Everything works here- the OOF water, the water drops on the bird, and the fishy catch. Love the eye , especially in the larger version. Beautifully done.
