What a wonderful capture. To have this guy perform for you like this is wonderful. There is great action and story line here. The focus is good. The colors are good. There is a great contrast between the water and the subject. There is even some reflection. Very nice image.

Wow a fantastic shot! Lots of good action and a great nature shot. Good composition with just the right amount of breathing space between the head and L frame! Awesome clarity and really good colors. Nice contrast all around good shot!

You were very lucky he was still there when you got back . I'm very glad he was. You got him with a great face mouth wide open and wings up. Coloring is very good focus is right on. Nicely cropped. Good presentation, thanks for sharing

another awesome shot. So simple yet so beautiful. The pose is great, looking like he is about to strike - skewering some poor fish. Great clarity of focus again and well framed. Did you take this from inside your car? I am wondering what those series of white spots are above his head? Is it reflection through glass, or is it something on the ice? Fab shot anyway.

    Thank you so much! I had stopped the car and walked down to the edge of the lake. I expected him to fly but he didn't. I hope he will be there tomorrow, I hope to get some more.
