  • (That's a) good catch is also common.

In sports, when congratulating a player on a good observation that resulted in a successful play (for example a quarterback saw an open player in the end zone and was able to recognize the opportunity and complete the pass) I would often hear good eye

I've never heard good viewed spoken, as it does sound unnatural and well seen seems a little formal and unnatural.
