Osprey and Sun

[Jack Rogers]

Hi All, Went to Viera Wetlands this morning to find some dense fog and wonderful moody light. Worked a bit to capture something a bit different than my normal "point your shadow" in perfect morning light images. Here's one I like and thought I'd share here. Anytime I do anything like this I think of Fabs so thought this would be appropriate to post here. :)

So sweet of you , Jack :)
In fact, when I opened the page after working all day in a workshop, my eyes went to your post immediately.

Very well done, the soft sun is really enhanced by the silhouette, and the placing in the frame is perfect.

Wouold love to see more of your work here :)

Ah, an excellent photograph, Jack! I love the sharp silhouette (all the way down to the hooked beak) against the soft sun and light. Your placement of the various elements in this image looks good to me. See you around!

Very cool Jack. How do you keep from burning your retina?

Wow. very nicely done is all I can say. Only thing that I don't get is what's that round, bright yellow object in the background??!! (I say that as we have had rainy/snowy weather for the last several weeks:D) Would love to see that around here some day!

Sweet shot. Great sharpness of the silhouette and I like the sun being subdued a bit.

Beautiful silhouette Jack. Perfect placement of the osprey in the sun's frame. Guess your foggy day turned out pretty nicely.

Beautiful. Simplicity at its best. Can't wait to see more of your images, Jack!
