Super shot, (I really don't have a clue about my browser) but looking at the image in PSCC it looks great, pin sharp clean as a whistle.

Well done on all counts. The bird cooperated nicely with the perfect head turn.

with love, artie

Hi Ari, thank you for viewing and commenting. After reading your comment regarding the head I thought I knew why it might appear blurry. I had applied a local adjustment to the head. I deleted that adjustment, does this look better?

A nice view of this osprey getting some grub. I like the green on the right.
