Osprey

[Alex Becker]

Hi all,

Here is an Osprey frame from Florida. In post, I did some light noise reduction on the bird and background, sharpened, and some standard levels adjustments as well as cropping about 20% off. Background is rocks on the edge of the water that gave a nice color when the sun hit it.

Camera: Nikon D500
Lens: 200-500mm f/5.6 at 500mm
Specs: 1/2500 ISO 640 f/5.6

Thanks for looking!
Alex

Overall a prey nice capture! Good looking details and exposure and I like the clutched feet and the water falling. Although it is colorful I might consider removing some off the top to pick the bird up in the frame. Well done

Hi David,

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions! I cropped it tighter here, hopefully this works.

Thanks!

Nice action shot, love the incoming pose here. When I saw the first image I was thinking a tighter crop would improve it and it sure did.
