This Osprey was perched on a branch on the open beach . He was tolerating the locals getting amazingly close. So I set up and waited for the take off.
added a little canvas to bottom.

Hi Robert, well timed to have captured the raised wings pre-take off. Great angle to show up the talons and the shape of the beak. I find the whites well exposed, and maybe a touch of selective sharpening on the head.
Agree, excellent timing, nice pose, like the slight angle towards us. I do agree, that if you could extract a bit more detail from the whites, that would be nice. Just a hint of detail extractor would be excellent if you have the Nik plugins.
