I think this is how they do it.

Young Osprey pre-flight practice. From Brigantine 3 years ago. I would have shown more of the nest, but below the crop line was a man-made 2x4 platform

Lovely detail on the birds Bill. I think the pano crop works well considering the circumstances. Beautiful colours on the birds blending lovely with the BG.

Nice to have the eye of both birds. Nice details and a good choice of crop, Bill.

nice view of the nest with two juvies, I wish the osprey on the left had a better HA. for some reason the crop isn't working for me, I prefer to see more of the nest, it ends too abruptly IMO

Very nice, with the sibling a great addition to the story. Osprey nests on platforms are so frustrating! I think you did what you could, and the action makes up for any issues with the crop, for me.
