Ascension

Another Osprey taken yesterday (Sorry , but I don't have much else to photograph in the summer here!)
Taken at 2 in the afternoon but in cloudy Northwest light and I thought the light was nice.

1/1250, f5.6, 500mm, iso800, handheld, Nikon D800

Hi Dan, Ive enjoyed your series of these guys, and in this, a great view of the near wing. Wish the far wing was raised a touch higher.:w3 Nicely separated from the BG, but would liked to have seen the whole BG uniform, as Im finding the sky in the ULC a touch distracting.

This is again a lovely one , Dan . Wish the far wing did not merge with the head . The soft backlighting is superb and the closed talons add to the image .

[Daniel Cadieux]

I agree with the others about the far wing, but still a good image and I too have enjoyed this series. I'd be out there often if that was my only subject!!

[Jonathan Ashton]

Hey Dan I wish I had your problems - only having ospreys!
I like the shot and agree with the previous suggestions, maybe consider replacing the sky with OOF trees?

[Joe Senzatimore]

Image has fine detail and great exposure. Might consider fixing the ulc of the BG to match the rest.

Another superb capture of this bird ,Dan.
Would not mind it being the only bird to shoot , ... for a while :S3:
I love the detail under the near wing and the light through the tail.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Great bg, comp and pose, Dan. That's a nice problem to have - I wish I had access to Ospreys here.

[Satish Ranadive]

Great flight shot. Loved the pose ,great details and lights.

cool shot I just wish the head was not lost in the far wing. these guys are tough to get with the right angle
