What an excellent capture of an equally impressive BOP. Our wedgetails are large birds but no where near as striking as the BE. Well done, can I ask where you were positioned to take this shot? Was it on a boat or a raised bank?

Wow, that eagle has more hardware than my punk-goth nephew!! Course I don't think he could catch a fish if it fell in his mouth Wonderful shot, Ted.

Hi Ted, my 2 cents......The fact that you can see the head saves the image. It is a good angle with a good wing position. The fact it has a td on it makes it intriguing if not a little less natural. The fish adds a super element. It is almost always more impactful to have the bird at an even plane with the viewer or 3/4 or full coming towards the viewer. Also, the whites on the tail are hot in all three channels, r,g, and b therefore leaving a lack of detail in the tail feathers.

Ted -
Congratulations on a unusual shot (a radio transmitter BE with a catch)! The going away angle is usually not the preferred view, but your shot still shows the head and a good look at the fish, so it works nicely.
I'm not a fan of bands on birds photographically, but being able to get the story behind a particular bird due to the band is always neat.
