Well, you have bird photography down pat. Hope you have a long lens or fast fingers. This guy wouldn't mind having them for a snack. Of course it is a beautiful job. Good luck.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Gracious...

Good rule of thumb: If you ask for an in depth critique, you should be willing to include your own comments with your photo when you submit it. Does this photo not have any meaning or interest to you personally? If not, it's not worth asking for an in depth critique. You have to care about it before you should ask someone else to do the same :)

Just fantastic in it's detail. What an eye! (Pun intended) The first "10" I'm giving in this challenge.

Lovely photo! I think the picture could be improved by a small counter-clockwise rotation so that the far shore looks horizontal and the reflections look vertical.

Well caught. The fierce expression is exceptionally clear considering the small size of the image. The flight feathers and the sea contain all the blurring that is needed.

Nice. Would have liked to have seen a little more blur in the wings. But I'm sure he didn't keep coming back to repose! :) Good photo

The title is a bit overwrought for me, but the shot is nice.
