Hi Brian

Very nice shot :toast:

Only minor nit is the bird is positioned quite centrally in the frame and for a 3:2 format image I prefer the subject slightly off centre, probably a bit lower in this case. Other than that I would get the digital scissors out and crop it to a square(ish) format as I think that would work very well with this shot.

cheers

Nicely caught, is that fishing bait? Very attractive photo.
