Osprey with dinner

[Miguel Palaviccini]

One of the first images taken when I first acquired long glass. It took some time to learn how to pan properly, but I got the hang of it :)

This osprey image was taken in Gainesville, FL at Newnan's lake - a hotspot for fishing Osprey. Critiques, comments, and advice are all welcomed and appreciated!

A before and after can be seen in my blog post from April.

Miguel,
Excellent high key image. Looks like Osprey is also interested in your long glass.
I like the panorama-crop with incoming Osprey with nice wing position. Fish is bonus point.

Regards,
Satish.

Great Capture Miguel.TFS your workflow it was really educating.I must definitely try and learn some PP tricks as I am a noob in using PS.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Satish - he was staring right at me and I didn't know it until I saw the image :)

Sanjeev - it's all about practice! I'm by no means a PS master, but I've had the chance to work through quite a bit of images. Most of my "tricks" I learn from others on this forum!

Nice pose and eye contact. Fish adds to it. Pity about the poor light.

Miguel,
I like high key look, eye contact & food item. TFS

Hi Miguel, I wish I had longer glass Good eye contact, and I like the placement of the Osprey in the ULC. The colours of the Osprey pop nicely from the high key BG, and of course, his catch a bonus.

Capturing BIF, and PP work, both take practice to all come together.

Stuart - I've seen your work ... you do some great stuff with the 100-400!

Love that stare. Almost looks like it's smiling. I like the position of the fish too
