Osprey with Jack

[Daniel Belasco]

This Osprey had just caught the Jack. The Jack is still alive here and flipping around like crazy trying to get away. If the Jack falls in the bushes below the Osprey will probably not want to get it out of the bushes.
The Osprey is angrily watching as two Vultures circle around him hoping the Jack could get away. The look is intense and I was hoping the Vultures would try to take the fish away from the Osprey--No such luck. And a peaceful end, except for the Jack.

Nice shot Dan, like the details and the look on Osperey. Wish for open wings or shallower angle, there seems to be a blue cast in neutral areas.

The image does seem to have a colour cast and there looks as though there is a halo around the bird.(Could be from S/H filter?)
It is an interesting story/capture.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Nice look in the eyes of the Osprey. Image seems to be dark and has a blue cast as mentioned.

Check the colour cast and looks the halo around the bird .....;)

Nice capture, not sure about exposure, dust spot above bird's left wing.
