The Juvenile Fishing machine

[vishaljadhav]

This is a Juvenile Osprey, visible from the brown on the chest,

We had look at nearly 3 different birds during our boat ride to this place and this one was the shy guy amount the lot

it took off and was able to make this frame , cropped from horizontal to vertical as the subject was placed more to the front of the frame

The important things for me were that the subject was more backlit and that created a good light on the wing tips

Camera 5D MIII + Canon 400 f2.8 L IS + 2x TC

ISO 800, F 7.1 , shutter 1/1000,

Vishal, you manged well in Backlit, Action and Details are almost seen clearly, looks like you sharpen the image Little more shutter speed needs for this image like 1600 as I think to get more sharp head. Overall you freeze well with catch.

Nice action captured and I too like the way the backlighting lights up the wings. I like the fanned out tail, the prey, the background. I think I may see some noise on the BG and there seems to be a perhaps yellowish cast on the bird. The eye also looks a bit unnatural, did you change the color at all?

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely wing position and I like your composition. Nice to see the prey and those huge talons. The BG is rather appealing but I, also, am seeing a pretty strong yellow cast on your image. You can remedy this in RAW with your white balance or you can try it in PhotoShop with a Color Balance layer moving the slider away from the yellow. In a perfect world, it would have been nice not to have the osprey facing away.

Vishal:
Magnificent flight pose you have captured.I like the full wing up with curved feathers at the tip.,fish in talons and composition.
Rest is mentioned above.

Regards,
Satish.

Very nice action. I like the back lit light of the wing and the colorful background. Agreed with the others that there is a yellow cast as seen on the cloud in the BG.
