love the fish! whole fish with an osprey is always a plus, good wing position too. Unfortunately the light angle wasn't ideal and the bird looks soft with lacking details, perhaps due to soft focus or too much cropping?

Ditto Arash. In an ideal world the near wing would be fully raised.

Ari and Artie, thank you for viewing and commenting, much appreciated. I pretty much knew what your wrote in your comments but sometimes it is hard to let go of an image that one wishes were better. Thanks again.
