    Was out a Fort Meyers Beach, Florida last week. A few Osprey were out doing there thing. Twas' nice to have a few days out. Glad to see that portion of FL was not as heavily hit also.

    D500 + Sigma 500/4, 1/2000, 5.6 (this setting was a mistake and hurt my Pelican shots! :(...), 700mm

    Nice image, Jay. The HA, the fish turned towards the viewer, the post processing all look great. Thank you for sharing.

    I agree with Joe here, all looks good to me. Love the facial expressions on both bird and fish. Well done.

    Having prey in the talons really adds to this frame, Jay. Great wing position and head angle add to it. The only really minor issue I can see is that critical focus appears to be on the foreground wing, part way along it -sometimes hard to pick on these posted shots though. The head looks just a whisker soft to me but don't know what the RAW looks like. As such, I wonder if a slightly smaller aperture would have helped here? Tone, colour and composition look great. Thanks for sharing.

    Nice capture of one with the fish! good lighting and sharpness. I was down there this spring and there were osprey everywhere flying around, but none caught a fish while I had the camera ready!
