    Wonderful moment captured, Jim. Great poses and head angles from both birds, nice lighting, and just the right hint of habitat in the BG. Nicely done as usual.

    I like the exposure control, IQ, timing, sharpness and composition. Excellent image Jim.

    Wow, so pretty couple!
    Love everything about this one Jim! and especially those huge talons. I ignore the time when this shot was made but if mine I would increase the temperature a tad.

    Hey Jim, Nice frame of these two lovers. I like the feather detail and the exposure control on this shot. Nice eye contact by both birds and the moss on the hens back looks good even though we were bummed that it was there when we were shooting this. This has to be from the morning we shot alone because I have the exact same frame:) Very cool experience and seeing them copulate was a nice way to get a different frame than the flight frames so I'm glad I got a chance to see that. Thanks again. See ya soon.

    Excellent moment captured. Very nice poses and head turns. I like the wing spread and coolness of the lady osprey sitting on nest.
    Beautiful BG and composition.Very nice IQ. Love it.
