I was standing in water about five and a half feet deep to get a shot of the Osprey.

Nice moment captured. Not easy to get this with 1200mm. I assume it is a crop...is it a large one? I really like the creamy back- and foreground and the water droplets.

Thanks, Its is about a 50-65% crop.

I like the water drops, low angle, BG and wing tip blur. I would take some off the bottom but that is personal taste. Nice image Thomas.

Killer pose and stare, and I love the BG colours. Perhaps a wee bit bright on the lighter tones. I'm with Jim in regards to cropping a bit from below if the IQ can take another loss of pixels. You are brave standing in such deep waters!!
