love the angle and the detail in the plumage. good eye contact and the fish is a plus. some of the whites look a bit hot

TFS very nice work

Lovely image and composition

Nice capture Mike...Both you and the Osprey. Nice detail and I just love the eye color on these birds.

Very nice, tack sharp, good eye on tact, the fish really adds a lot to this image. I find the pavement of the bird is dead center. I wonder if a slight change in placement could make this image better.

Very nice and detailed image. Really like it.

Nice image,
The head turn makes it special as the feathers on the head are flying appearing like a crest
Catch is a plus and the bird pins it down making its a powerful image, i like it

Excellent image. The pose says that "I am the King".
Love the pose with nice head turn,very nice perch,fish and composition.
