Another fine image from you Lea and she is being really obliging but concentrating hard on the fish in the water..! Superb detail and very well caught. I would only add that I think it is a little 'cold' and could do with a little tweak to reduce the blue in the image. Not much but will add a little warmth and depth.

Kind regards,

Brett :toast: :wavey: :toast:

Very nice Lea you have really captured that intent look and what a superb bird.
Perhaps a fraction of the bottom to get rid of the perch going off to the right. It doesnt do anything to add to this fine image.

Beautiful shot Lea :toast:

Colour looks OK so must assume you have changed it ? also agree with Major with regard to the perch as that bit not needed.

Nice tones and pose...agree with a marginal crop on the bottom.

I like this one more because of the way the light is reflected off the plumage, and the pose. Overall a lovely capture.
