Love the high key effect here but feel you could better place the osprey...just not sure where. I tried moving the osprey to the right since it has the trailing nesting material. I'm stumped. PS: I like the thumbnail quite a bit so I think this comp would grow on me.

Well done Joe! lovely image for my taste, though a bit further forward in the frame is where I'd have the bird.
Works well as a small bird as the sky really draws you to see it and it does not get lost in the frame!
