Just looking for peoples thoughts on this image. I would like for the fish to be facing the other way .

I really like the lighting.......and the sharpness of the bird. The image has a 3D feel to it. Yeah, it would have been been to have the fish head facing the camera, but then the bird's head might have been a skosh to the right.
I give it a 9.5 - and a cudda' been a 10!

Mike, had you not mentioned the positioning of the fish, I would not have thought anything of it.
By contrast, the positioning of the wings is significant: I particularly like seeing detail in both sides—upper and under.
EXIF data, please. (I suspect its absence relates to the file's size, or how it was exported or uploaded; others might know for sure.)

Think it's a great shot; the light is sublime; all that detail in white feathers in full sun. For me, unless it was intended to be a portrait of the rock bass I would not have thought about the fact the fish's face is not present
Excellent

In a perfect world, or a controlled environment, having the fish facing the camera as well, with a visible eye, would be ideal...yet as it is, shooting in the wild, nailing the light, wing position, focus, making good use of a shallow DOF...SO many things DID go right! Well done.

Looks like a great shot. Exif would give even a fair idea about the image.
Exif please

Great image. The lightning is excellent. I love the background, much better than sky. I love it.
Great light, nice POV on the bird, good detail, and a seabird against a BG that's not blue. All good.
