Another osprey in flight

[Paul Burdett]

Hi all. Here's another Osprey from my recent shoot. This one has no BG distractions, and I like the natural gradient style sky. I tried a number of crops and settled on this one. Hope you like it.
7Dii, 100-400@400mm, 1/3200th sec, f7.1, iso800, HH. Thanks for looking/commenting...always appreciated.

Paul:

Love the nice dorsal display of the near wing, sharp, nice contrast and detail. Faint cloud banks give a bit more depth to the sky. Well exposed.

Wish the head was a bit more towards us, and just a bit sharper. A bit more bank to show more of the far wing would be a plus.

Cheers

Although I didn't get round to commenting on your last Osprey shot I did think it was your recent best. Unfortunately this one doesn't;t quite hit the same standards due to the far wing position and the head being a little soft and turned a few degrees away from us. Colours on the bird and the light are really nice though

This one doesn’t work head is soft and angled away from us. Far wing position ain’t good either

Thanks all for the feedback.
Arash: Funny really...I like this one better than my previous one. Apart from the slight softness in the face I love the near wing position and detail. Different strokes I guess.
