Id decided to go with a tighter crop open this version because of the wing position. ### Technical Details Canon 1DX MII 600mm f/4 1.4 TC shot at 840mm 1/5000 at f/8 ISO 1600 ---

Cool shot. Great detail in bird and fish and I like all those water droplets. ---

Great capture Kurt. Love the wing position and the great detail throughout. For me the crop is a bit tight. Just a tad more on the right and maybe even the top would look a bit less crowded IMHO. ---

Beautiful image, Kurt. The color of the koi or goldfish or whatever adds a nice touch to this. I agree with @Steve_Zimic on the crop. ---

Hi Kurt, wow what a great catch for you and the bird. Dynamic wing position, terrific pose of the fish, and the water droplets really convey the action. Agree on a bit looser crop especially room on the left for the bird to fly into. ---

That’s a killer frame ! As suggested, you may go less tight on this. You may burn the whites to extract some more details. Cheers ! ---

Hello, Kurt, simply adorable with all those water droplets … A bird more spaces around the bird would be wonderful, but I must say that the tight cropping in this case enhances the impact imho, as if one was actually at the scene! Cheers, Hans
