Lovely shot with a graceful wing position, Sid!

I would like a little more room on the bottom. Love the concentrated look and the sharp eye.

Great stuff!

[Joe Senzatimore]

Great wing detail and position. Very nice BG and exposure as well.

Sid, looks like you are having a lot of fun with this osprey. Is this nest the one in Orlando?

[Peter Coskun]

Awesome image. I love the incoming pose of the bird and the great detail shown on the bird. I also like how the bird looks like it is still flying towards you almost ready to make a catch, however a bit of nest would help show where the bird is actually headed.

Great shot, have been trying to get one this good last week, no luck yet. BG shows subject off nicely
Good work.

I plan to visit Lake Blue Cypress next year. It is one of few places where one can shot Ospreys on green background instead of blue sky. Your series is wunderfull. I woulr prefer less noise reduction to keep picture more realistic, noise reduction layer is visible on top parts of the wings. Colours tend to be more purple instead of brown on Ospreys back (current color HEX is #514456). BUT this is only post-process things, easy to fix. The fact remains this is absolutely amazing shot!
