    Default Incoming Osprey

    I spent a couple of days last month at Lake Cypress, Florida shooting ospreys. Amazing place with hundreds of osprey nests. You can approach reasonably close from a boat. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, cloudy, rainy for the most part. This is one of the few images that I like.

    I love it! Sometimes Osprey have a goofy countenance and often the background is blue sky or white sky. The background is pleasing and the Osprey has a nice look about him. This image depicts the osprey as a powerful and capable raptor; one can appreciate it's massive legs and feet. I find it difficult to capture a bird flying at me but you nailed it. Well done. steve

    Very nicely framed good details fine colours. If you were concerned about the crop I think it is such a commanding subject that you could afford to crop less.

    KILLER pose Loi - love the intensity created by the eye contact and those great dangling meat hooks. Also I like your choice of composition.
