Ospreys are indeed beautiful, Good handling of side light and acceptable head angle. A title steep and not sure of the distractions on the left side of the frame. Sharpness is good. What part of Florida?

p.s: Big welcome to BPN!

Frank, Lovely shot of the Osprey, sharp and nice exposure. I think, as Fabs says, that the picture is a bit busy. If everything behind and to the lef tof the bird was gone it would be very good indeed, even with the steep angle.

Keep them coming

Welcome to BPN Frank !!! Love the regal pose and the excellent eye contact. Ditto Fab's comments. Sure look forward to seeing your future posts and thanks for sharing.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. I agree with the limb to the left but sometimes I have to take what nature gives me. I think I've got some shots without alot of distractions, I'll try to post one of them.
Fabs, I'm in central Florida on the gulf coast a little north of Tampa.
