Osprey with Nesting Material

[Juan Tolentino]

I captured this image in Fort Myers, FL with the Nikon D500 Handheld and Nikkor 500mm f4. I already removed a magenta cast from the further wing. Looking forward to your critiques and comments.
ISO 400
f4
1/3200
Manual Mode
Processed on LR and PS. Neat image for background noise reduction
Full Frame, canvas added on top and on the RHS.


All C & C's will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking

Juan:

Soft light, good head turn/eye contact, nesting material, wing position.

I might be tempted to trim off the very end of the vegetation strands where they leave the frame, and perhaps add just a sliver of canvas below.

Nice capture!

Very nice. I love the great look at the evenly lit underwing. Ditto Randy on the trimming ...

Hello,

a great picture and for all the look from the bird ist amazing

[Daniel Cadieux]

Pretty cool, I love the talons gripping the nesting material. Great head turn. I'd love a bit more room below, but a fine image overall.

[Bill Dix]

Great up-wing position, the talons on the moss, and the look he's giving you. I agree with a little trimming and canvas addition.

[John Mack]

The osprey gave you a very nice head turn. The nesting material is a bonus. Wish for more room below.

[Alex Becker]

Great suggestions above. Love the nesting material and pose. Details look great. TFS
