Big Stick OSPREY pt.2

[Mike McCarthy]

Good morning folks ...on this crazy cold morning. (38* here ). Another image from a 4 shot sequence from last Friday. Like the previously posted "big stick" osprey, this one I liked. A little less symetrical, but I like the thinner more angular wing shapes. Taken by boat on the Intra-Coastal Waterway South of Sarasota, Fl. Had a wonderful morning with these guys and if you all are not growing tired of osprey...I'll be posting some more pics from this morning. Posts have been flying in at such a break necked pace shots don't stick around long. If you are interested in viewing the first post of this bird it can be seen here.

38F is crazy cold? It's -2F here. :) I like the pose and the stick adds to it. Maybe you could apply a bit S/H in the chest area.

Very cool pose. Well captured!

very good exposure, I wish the spray to be a mighty jack fighting for its life. It would become a spectacular shot!
