Nesting Time...

I captured this image of a Osprey carrying Spanish Moss to line it nest. Overcast morning, bright sky. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

nesting material and the wing position was great, too bad the osprey seemed too far and doesn't show much detail. TFS

Also FYI, I just saw that you mention 600mm whereas the lens you used is a 400mm lens. A 400mm lens is always 400mm, it doesn't become a 600mm lens. Unfortunately this is one of those internet alternative facts! checkout this article on my blog

Arash, thank you for your comment. I read your blog post regarding crop factor when you posted it.
