Nice, good position and nice perch, the only think which caught my eye as odd was the lone rain drop, i'd probably clone it out.
One thing? You used noise ninja on the image? Was there much noise?

Hi Paul,
I was also in doubt wether to clone out the waterdrop, but i'd thought it would add the sense of water falling from the just caught fish..?
There was no real noise visible in this image, but i always use Noise Ninja to soften my BG's (and ofcourse to get rid of possible noise if there is any present..).
Regards,
Jeroen Stel

Ahh, didnt think there would be much. My nit with the drop was due to the fact there was just one. If there had been a few i think it would of been fine.

I'm just working on a voodoo doll called Jeoen - so if you feel any sharp pains later on Jeroen you know it's only me - CONSUMMED WITH ENVY
Another wonderful image
But that previous image set the bar

Good job, Jeroen, - I really like the composition here
Very nice, great bg, and of course the bird is very nice too.
