NIce shots! I like the moment captured in #2.

Nice set Randall, I like #3 the best since he has the fish in its mouth. #1 I wish he was flying into the frame, rather than out, but since you have clear blue sky that could be acheived in PS!. #2 looks a little hot to me in areas, on my monitor at least anyway.

Nice images! Like the minnow grab in the last image.

Exactly what Nick said.
The copyright is pretty intrusive, too. Good work!

Looks like the guys have already given some great tips to you Randall. I like the comp overall though and a few tweaks makes these very nice.

Randall, you have entered the Kurt Bowman wildlife photography class. Great work. I love #2. Reflections and the sharpness of the bird are all but perfect.
