Ospreys at the nest

[Paul Burdett]

I didn't manage to get any in flight images on this day, but took this one from the car park before I left. In PS I removed a pole on the left side of the image and also a branch that was going across the right wing (our left looking at it). Would have liked the osprey on the right to be facing me or the other one, but that's life! Apart from that, only basic adjustments in ACR, PS and Topaz. Cheers.

Nice wing-spread on the landing Paul! Darks and whites look good to my eye, great job on that. I understand your wish to have both looking our way and I agree, but for me, m the bigger nits would be the steep angle (I know this is a very hard thing to get a lower angle at a nest, so it is what it is) and I wish the wing wasn't intersecting with the other bird. Still a nice frame and good job on it!

Nice processing Paul, but sorry it doesn't float my boat, the big metal basket and steep angle kill it for me.

[William Dickson]

Got to agree with Jon here Paul....The 'metal' nest spoils it....

Thanks all for the feedback...appreciated.

[Dorian Anderson]

Yeah, the metal kills this for me. Pity as the tech and processing look really good.

[Paul Burdett]

Thanks Dorian.
