Osprey Landing with food.

[Karl Egressy]

Arno Ellmer asked if I had a landing one with fully streched wings.
This is preceding the one I posted a couple of days ago by only one frame.
Thanks for looking.

Karl:

Great display of wings and tail. Like the partially eaten fish, framing.

Nice DOF.

I could see a version with the bird just a bit brighter ( 1/4 to 1/3 stop)

Cheers

Great wing display and the light quality is fabulous... Nice one Karl

Karl, This is amazing image. Very dynamic pose and agree with Randy about slightly brighter body, brightness on wings look correct.

Awesome. Better than the previous one...I guess you posted that as a teaser:-). I like it as it is...looks great on my monitor. Well done, Karl.

Thank you Maya and thank you all. I opened up the darker part of the bodt and some of the shadowy areas by selective linear dodge.
I hope you like it better.

Beautiful golden light. The wing and tail spread are perfect and the food in the talons adds that little extra.

Awesome golden light, Karl, and just love the wing spread. The details are excellent. I love the comp, the open bill and the prey. Terrific image.
