Joe:

Great timing, well exposed, nice to have a bit of clouds in bg.

I might consider a version cropped a bit tighter if IQ will allow.

Well done!

Wonderful action capture, Joe. Love the pose, on both, the hint of clouds sky and the water droplets adding to the drama. TFS

[John Mack]

Great timing on this one. Nice view of the fish. I Agree maybe a little more of a crop. But this isn't bad as is.

[dankearl]

Nice catch, nice pose, I doubt you can crop much more.

[Jack Backs]

Great action shot. I would probably crop a little off the bottom.

[Jonathan Ashton]

A spectacular shot well done, really impressive. I wonder if it is possible to tease a little more detail from the chest feathers?

Well done Joe!
Love the tack sharp fish and the fact that I can see the eye,

Wicked. I'm with Jack in favor of a bit more off the bottom.
