    Another Osprey from my recent shoot. Not the best light, but...that's Brisbane at the moment...even close to susnset.
    7Dii, 100-400@400mm,1/2500th sec, f5.6, iso400. manual, HH. Always appreciate the feedback. Cheers.

    Even though the up angle and light are not ideal, you gotta love that stare. TFS

    In addition to the light angle problems and the resulting shadows, the perch is a gotta-go. I do like the stare but there is something funky about the outside of the bird's left eye ...

    Hi Artie. I agree re the light etc...hopefully a revisit may turn up more Ospreys. Funky eye due to the sun I think. Cheers.

    Love the pose here. I could see this cropped in even tighter. Espcially from the right. Maybe a square crop would work nicely. The bird is nice and sharp.

    Hi John,
    Thank you. Maybe a head and shoulders crop would work...might try your suggestions. Cheers.
