I see he went for a dive with no luck :)

You nailed the exposure and sharpness is good also. Well composed. Way to go :)

Love the wet ruffled feathers in this one Bill. Excellent exposure and composition and good eye contact and pose. Fine work !!!

[Doug Brown]

Nice job Bill! Good suggestions from Fabs and Judy. I would add that I'd like to see the head, and in particular the eye, a little sharper.

[Mark Schmitt]

Nice depiction of avian life and behavior. I like the gradation in the BG, though there is a bit of noise in the transitional hues of blue; perhaps as a result of the higher ISO. That not withstanding, this is a an over-all good image: well done. ;)

[Linda Robbins]

Really cute pose and nice composition. Love those ruffled feathers! Agree that a bit more sharpening of the head will improve this nice image!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great pose and eye contact. Another vote for more sharpening and I would add a bit more room at the bottom.

Really cute fluffy osprey portrayed here! Nice composition too.
