Osprey with reflected light

[Bill Dix]

From Bowman's Beach, Sanibel Island last November. At 4:00 PM the light was still pretty high, but I liked the way it was partially mitigated by the reflected light from the wonderful white Florida beach. C&C appreciated.

D7000, 80-400VR @ 400mm, ISO 640, 1/2500s @ f/7.1 manual.

Great eye contact from a nice angle Bill.
This osprey doesn't seem to be too high overhead.
As you said, the light is a bit harsh but it is a great in flight capture.

This is a good solid BIF image that is made better by the direct gaze he is giving you.
Nice and sharp throughout the DOF,
Gail

Fantastic shot Bill. Well done. Nice sharpness and good DOF.

Nice wing span and eye contact, Bill.
