| Great Framing, I can feel the speed as he goes for his prey-- 10 |

Gorgeous.
I don't really mind the unusual placement of the bird leaving the image. Graphically, the arrow-like shape of the bird in an outer corner makes for dynamic composition. The texture (wings and body) appears somewhat (deliberately?) oversharpened, adding a proliferated contrast to the given tedium of the water. |

| Beautiful capture. If only it wasn't about to smack into the corner of the frame :-/ |

| Almost past thirds but I like it over in the corner. |

| I like the shades of gray of his feathers, and I think you used his flying out of the picture to your advantage by making her so extreme in the corner. |

| I think I might have panned left a bit more. Good focus. Good luck. |

| Head seems a bit out of focus but super catch. |

| Very cool, detailed photo! Love everything about this, except the framing. You might lose some points for it. If possible, you should have the bird in the opposite corner, so the viewer has the feel of seeing what the bird is seeing (or at least in that same direction). I'm not going to "nick" you any points for it, as I realize this would have been an extremely difficult shot. 10 Rob the Swash |

| Cropping isn't right... The extreme motion of the bird's direction makes it feel like the cropping should be opposite (with the bird in the upper right corner). |

| I think the cropping works well for this one. Usually you'd want more space in front of the subject, but this emphasizes the action you mention in the title, as if he is rushing forward to catch a fish. 8 |

| Good one! The perspective is interesting, even tho the general rule is to leave more space in the direction an object is moving - 8. |

| Wow swooping in for the kill. Slight in the head gives a good sense of motion and the diving of the bird. Beautiful sharp contrast helps the detailed bird pop out of the background. Great capture. |

| nice capture..the sense of the dive and the tuck of the neck are very nice |

| This is a wonderful shot, exposure is spot on, well done |

| i don't know why you chose to crop this picture this way, i think in cases like this, the bird would look better entering the frame from the upper right corner, rather than leaving the lower left corner |

| Wow! Great angle and composition. Wish the pelican's head was also sharp, but this is very nice, and impressive. |

| I like the position of this bird and the contrast against the water. Perfect composition. |

| I'm not sure I like the composition of this photo. I'd prefer to see where he is flying as opposed to where he came from. Still a great capture of the bird though. |

| great focus and light. although you might not have been able to do this, i would have cropped the top and right and left more water visible down and to the left (ie: the direction he is heading). |
