    Default Osprey II.

    This is a follow up to the image I posted yesterday.
    I processed four out of ten but none of them are without problems. One as indicated yesterday, the cleanliness of the water surface.
    The other unfortunately the noise I have to deal with.
    Let's hope that the action overrides the imperfections.
    Thanks for looking.

    That is some powerful action, a shot that I have desired but yet to execute. I see a bit of a magenta cast and you noted some other problems….I personally would work a bit more on this given its potential . Is that a trout?

    Karl:

    Great sense of action, timing. Agree with Grace's points.

    Your self comments are good as well. I do wish the near wing was open a bid more.

    Cheers

    Thanks Grace.
    I was told the name but I forgot.
    I'll post one more from a ten days earlier shooting, where the fish shows well and more recognizeable.
    Maybe you know more about fish than I do.

    An amazing action shot. I do love the lens you are using, I have one too. Sadly it hardly gets used.

    You mentioned some technical imperfections yourself, so you won't hear me say anything about that, but this is still an awesome moment and a beautiful shot! Very cool and something I hope to be able to photograph myself someday too :).

    Really nice Karl. Love the pose and the action. I would start from scratch and work on the head and face the most. Cleaning up the catchlight can make a big difference on the clarity of the eye. Great capture.

    Karl agree with yourself critique but you have certainly caught the action, great shot.

    Great action shot Karl. Takes some skill to get this shot in the first place. Well done

    Great action shot. There is some magenta cast and some other minor things noted but I wish this was mine. I have never managed to get that close to an Osprey fishing. TFS
