    Well done image!
    It interests me to see that the bird seems to have yellow feet. Is that right?
    Since you took the picture in Africa it must have been the subspecies P. h. haliaetus.
    The subspecies of Osprey in the United States (P. h. carolinensis) have blue feet.

    Nice BIF image, Jonathan. I wish for a little better head turn and better position of the right wing. Left wing looks very nice. The light is nice and even, no harshness.

    Nice capture. I think he could use a little more light under the wing and in the eye. Very nice in flight capture!

    Jonathan:
    Excellent flight pose.I like the wing position and shadows caused by nice angle of lights. Agree with Karl about head turn,still nice eye contact.
    Very nice composition too.Love it.

    Regards,
    Satish.
