Very nice osprey capture, Stuart. Love his pose, the fish, the perch and BG. The light is good and you did a great job exposing for the bird. I would crop some from the left to keep him out of center.

[Dennis Zaebst]

Nice sharpness and light. I agree with cropping a bit from the left. Very well done.

Stuart:

Amazing that he can stand on this perch, with a fix in his grasp as well! Nice look back pose, well exposed.

Agree with Marina and Dennis about the crop form the left. Because of his gaze direction, you don't need as much on the left.

Cheers

Sweet light. Perfect exposure. I like the head turn/angle. Subject placement looks great to me. The bird is not
centered imo, and the head is well to the left of center. If text were involved, I could certainly see pushing the bird to the left a smidge, but it looks just fine as is. Nice that the tail of the fish shows so well to give the prey context.

Great over-the-shoulder look, and the prey is a bonus. Exposure looks spot-on. Amazing balance. Another vote for some crop from the left.

Great light, exposure is spot on for both the whites and the dark feathers, extremely sharp, fish is a bonus. Agreed with the others on the crop. Well done.
