Looking For A Meal

[bill kominsky]

Will try once more to post this image of an Osprey looking for a late day meal. Shot on Saturday late afternoon at the Green Cay Wetlands.
Taken with a Canon MK-II and at ISO = 400 f/6.3 1/2000th. of a sec. 100-400-L at 310-MM.

All C/C's welcome and appreciated. :)

Hi Bill, nice wingspread...I can just picture this guy gliding above you. Looks like the darks may have been underexposed originally, with colour noise creeping up after post-processing work to lighten them. Though lighting conditions as properly exposing those darks in-camera would have blown out the already hot whites near the feet.

I like the pose and composition but agree regarding overexposed highlights and noisy underwings. A bit more contrast might be good, too.

The boys got it to a Tee. Great wingspan, the light was too harsh to get an adequate exposure considering his position and the sun angle. Light coming from high right?

Hi Bill,

I agree with everything said.

Nits mentioned, but the wing spread is definitely a plus! :)
