Very nice indeed John, however there is a repeating pattern in the spray from the fish where you've added canvas, a bit more work here to make the droplets a little more random would sort this though.

Hi John
Another superb image - isn't it a pain when your subject is too close!

Fantastic
i agree the added spray doesn't look quite right but a wonderful image all the same
Imagine being too close to one of these birds for a 300mm
How habituated to humans are they in Norway? Anything like the red kites at Gigrin? I only ask as I've spent an interesting year with some sea eagles here, and on no occasion (tagging and ringing shambles aside) have I been able to get within even 500mm reach.
Nice shot.

Hi Guys
thanks for your comments. Hi John for these birds in Norway you do not need a lens bigger than the 300mm. By the way it is taken from a boat which I think the bird would accept a human better. On land I think it would be very difficult to photograph unless you used a hide.

Very nice shot John, it's the sort of shot I aspire to be taking. I probably wouldn't have noticed the canvas extension if it hadn't been mentioned.

An impressive shot of an equally impresive species.
Another cracker.
