Hi Paul, this one isn't working for me, BG is distracting and the wing position is not there...head looks funny for some reason

Hi Arash. Appreciate the feedback. Funny...I really like the BG here...part of the environment...I have too many Osprey shots with clear blue skies. I also like the wing position. Will look at the raw again...the head looks ok on my calibrated monitor.

Hi Paul, the image appears under exposed to me and also I would say there is some colour noise, especially in the dark wing, eye looks to be 'recovered/lightened', is this a big crop? In addition I just wished the vertical line of the rock behind wasn't running through the head.

hi Paul,
If it were me, I'd lie there and fight to finish this bird :) good luck.

Hi Steve. Thank you for the feedback. I'll take another look at the raw and re process. With Ospreys I'm always trying to expose in such a way as not to clip the whites on the head. Yes, it's a crop, so IQ has suffered I guess. This Osprey was rising quickly from the water before turning left, so this was the best of the burst of images...I'm fine with the vertical line through the head...never thought about it when I viewed the image, but can see your point now. Cheers.
Volkan: Thank you, but I'm unsure what you mean here?

Background is just far enough from the bird that I think you can get away with it. It's not perfect, but it's something different (as you said). My bigger issue is the wing position; farther up or farther down would be more striking. I think the exposure on the bird looks pretty good (maybe slightly under as Steve suggested), and the captured some nice details in the feathers and feet. Bit more head turn would help the subject connect better.

Agree with you on all points Dorian, but I do like the wing positions however.

Agree with the esteemed Arash. This is not your best. The WHIITEs looks funky and grey. The wing position sucks (sorry). The bird's head is angled away from us. And the dark shadow in the rocks behind the bird drags the viewer's eye ...
