    Great pose. Mega breeding plumage. Way sharp. Over-saturated. And the large type with the copyright is very obtrusive...

    Later and love, artie

    Sweet action capture Sid. Love the pose and wing position & details. Looking a bit "ripe" on this monitor so maybe back down the saturation a tad, but still I would trade an osprey shot or two for this one *-)

    Gorgeous color and pose, Sid!
    Would probably tone down the white neck a bit ...

    Hi Sid,

    I'm a huge fan of vivid colors. I think you have a fantastic image here. I like it as it is.

    Beautiful pose, and the head is tack sharp. Wonderful breeding colors, but I agree that it is a tad oversaturated. To make the copyright less obtrusive, try bringing down the opacity. Great capture Sid!

    The 'light' was certainly with you on this one. Lovely pose.
