Gary:

I think the composition is excellent.
I might consider lightening the front of the eye a bit, where it is in shadow

I find the vignetting a bit much, like the concept, but for my taste, would back off a bit.

Hi Gary, lovely landing posture, and this is really sharp. I feel this may have too much contrast, and lightening the osprey will work. Still, well captured.

Hi Gary Killer pose and very sharp !! Would like it a little lighter particularly around the head area !!! .. sure is nice working a nest with a good wind and light angle !!!!
