Nice capture Kevin, from what I can see at this small size ( 500X400 ) it appears to be very sharp and detailed but it would have been nice to see it at a larger size to get a better look at that blue eye and nice detail.

Really like the feeding behavior Kevin - your timing couldn't have been better. I do see a halo, particularly where the darks of the bird meet the water. Other than that, IQ is very difficult to judge at this very small size. I'd suggest posting at least at 720 pixels on the long side for effective critique.

Great catch for bird and photographer. I especially like the fish in flight and the water droplets. Looks very sharp too.

My only nit is the lack of the larger version. it looks pretty sharp and detailed at this size. It seems that the fish spontaneously decided to jump in to the open bill. the droplets are a plus.
I see a halo around the top of the head and the bill.

Cheers, Luca

Nice timing on your image. I would like to see this larger to judge image quality.

Great timing and sharpness. The drops trailing the fish are a major plus.

Perfect timing! But I'd like to see a 720 pixel image before commenting further.

Very nice job of capturing that magic moment. I really like your choice of composition.
