    Nice frame of this osprey. The vertical composition is nice. Like the background as well. Maybe a touch more on the left. Like the blood on the talon.

    Beautiful detail in whites and blacks... I'm not sure if that is membrane or light reflection in eye. Perhaps boosting contrast would better show pupil. Love the calling pose... Congrats TFS

    Wonderfull capture and calling pose, Dan. Nice and sharp, great perch with moss, and lovely background.

    Yep, the blood on the foot really adds a lot to this. The open bill is another plus. Super stuff! The only thing I could suggest is to see if the very bright whites on the head could be tamed a bit.

    Yes...a superb shot. Love that pose, open beak and BG. I do agree the white area needs toning down, and also a tad more room to the left.

    I want this bird on this stick! love the close up details and the talons colored with blood from a recent catch. BG is perfect too. rivals Florida osprey shots. good suggestion re bringing out more detail from the head area
