Osprey on Lake Toho

This was taken from Air Boat on Lake Toho. I wish the perch was natural and Ha was little better but since I liked it overall I decided to keep this one.

exquisite! u have captured so much detail in all areas. well done!

I really like the vibrant colors in the BG and the layers it has. I like the IQ but feel you can pull out a bit more from the blacks. I understand why you kept it despite the perch,

I think this image is absolutely superb, you have a wonderful range of tones there.

[arash_hazeghi]

nice close up view, some of the blacks look a bit blocked, I wish for a better perch. nice portrait

[Sachin Saraf]

Thanks All...


I wish for a better perch

Yes Arash you are right...Even I went back and forth before I decided to keep this one until I get one with natural perch.

That is one well done Osprey!
It does look like a bit harsh light, but the detail (especially the head) is excellent.

For some reason I love the whites in this photo... absolutely beautiful, I also like the striations in the background bokeh and the high IQ overall

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Sachin, one of your best. Good sharp detail, DOF spot on, and I like the two tone BG. As mentioned, perch not ideal, but it certainly shows off those talons.

[Robert Holguin]

Real nice shot!! Whites look spot on, I really like the background, excellent detail, and great comp.
Well done.

Sachin, your photography/processing is improving in leaps and bounds. great IQ in this one. loved the BG and the bird angle. might be in minority, but I dont mind the perch. If mine, I'd reduce the contrast a bit.
