I captured this image a while back at Circle B Bar Reserve. I recently worked on it for the theme this month. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Joseph, like the overall comp, cool to get the Osprey with a snack, just not sure about the backdrop, something looks a little 'a miss' in the PP, is this a big crop?

Hi Steve, thanks for viewing and commenting. No, not a big crop. Just the distance that the Bald Cypress branches were away, not in focus and not out of focus enough. I left is as it was not wanting it to appear worked on or artificial.
Love seeing that you captured this amazing behavior although wish the light weren't so harsh. If you have more space on the right, I would put it back in and crop from the left. I would also consider burning (darkening) the brighter spots on the osprey's head and neck.
The harsh light is not ideal, but you caught some really good action!
