Osprey

Osprey in flight ready to grab a fish. Image made from boat, bird was baited with fish. The background is not ideal with the bright bottom half, which is from the wake of the boat. Handheld, cropped for composition.

nice pose, I like the dangling talons. the reflections in the BG are mildly distracting and the focus doesn't look all that sharp to my eye. light and wing position both great though

Hi John
Waw! Great capture!
Did you use any exposure compensation?
What tracking sensitivity or AF case sensitivity did you use?

Hey Mike, if i remember right i was at plus one stop for exposure compensation and case one for tracking sensitivity.

Thanks John
I have your camera lens combination. Are you using the IS for BIF photos?
