Excellent image of beautiful raptor with very nice wing position. Beautiful fish and flash of water.

Simply wonderfull for me.

A really BIG shot with the clear fish, the watersplash and this direct look in the eyes from the osprey !

[Frank Schauf]

Great pose and setting you have here.

[Jim Crosswell]

Excellent image Tim! I like the eye contact, action, composition, sharpness and great view of the fish too.

[Mike Poole]

Simply superb Tim, there is so much going on in their frame.

The symmetry in the wings is wonderful, the direct stare, the unfortunate fish just out of there water and the trailing droplets all make for a great shot.

Great shot. I love the water still on the top of the Osprey's wings as well as all the droplets in the air.

[Madeleine Lenagh]

Love those yellow eyes looking straight at you. Powerful composition. There are many shots out there of osprey carrying fish, but this one gives the theme a special twist.

[Tim Foltz]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Agree with all that has been already said. Perfect timing on this and amazing that the bird was kind enough to fly right at you with the fish at just about 90 degrees! All is top notch for me. I have seen thousands of Ospreys but still do not have a single shot of them that I consider a keeper. Congrats on this one.

[Robert Kimbrell]

Thats so nice, I love the way he is displaying his catch for you. Great eye contact and splashing water.

all has been said, excellent shot Tim, especially I love the symmetrical wing position

[David Salem]

This is awesome Tim and one of my favorite Osprey frames of yours. The symmetrical wings and the great view of the BG really set this one apart. Not sure why you posted the last one, this is the money frame!
Not a big deal but I find the image a bit thin and lacking in the blacks. Not a big change but I did a re-post to see if it looked any better to you as this might be a nice one to print. Great work

[Marina Scarr]

Wow, what an impressive frame. Just love the symmetry, the water splash the entire fish facing us. David's RP just puts the finishes touches on it. WOW again!

[Lorant Voros]

This is outstanding!!! IOTY for me so far. Symmetry, power, fish....all in place. Hat's off!!!!!
