Great image, Gail. It is nice to see the chunky legs. The wing position is great so is the foamy water at the bottom.

[Ian Wilson]

Another wonderful capture - love it.

[Tobie Schalkwyk]

Great shot, Gail! Not sure what to add - I simply love it, well done!

[arash_hazeghi]

this is a cool frame, I like the low angle wing position and details. looks like you were quite far from him but you did well.

[Binu John]

Excellent shot, Gail! I really like the wing position and the low angle! TFS

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Birthday Girl, great eye level capture, and really love the raised forward wing position. This also shows off the primaries so well too. You have nailed the exposure once again.

Have a great day.

Lovely the pose is nice, eye is perfect
now the claws are seen that makes it more interesting to the eye

And yes, Many happy returns of the day, wishing you a wonderful time ahead.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Wonderful image in this series, Gail. Like the bit of motion in the wingtips, and the stormy weather.

So now the Florida ospreys have adopted the "Reddish Egret" canopy-feeding method eh! Cool pose making for a unique frame.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nice one Gail!
At first it looked like a bald to me. good light, pose and the raised wings are so nice.

[Andy Shepherd]

What a great pose you have captured here, Gail. Love the wet feathers and the detail in the legs / feet is very nice. Oh, and that wing position is a bit special too.

[Bill Dix]

Another great one, Gail. Although I think I like the first one better, the wing position in this one makes it unique. Well done.

Gail I love the wet bedraggled look, this sort of image is right up my street, excellent piece of work.

Super wing position, So nice he did not obstruct the eye. I like the wet look, a terrific image.

[David Salem]
