POLY WANNA FISH?

OPPS! Left out an L. Sorry couldn't edit that one.

It was a little funny, right after saying this outloud at close proximity, that the Osprey turned and looked at me for the longest time. Maybe he is from the Flamingo Farm. :) He got his own about ten minutes later but of course I missed that shot. I will post the one of him coming off the perch in that persuit later.

The pose looks good and the bird a bit goofy. :) I would give it more room left and right and sharpen the bird a bit more. The BG makes the composition look a bit unbalanced.

[Bill McCrystyn]

I knew that bird had flown in from the Flamingo Farm. You can just tell that look they have. :) I wanted a tight crop on it and the BG was killing me. I have another HA I'll post later with a much better BG. I'll see if I can sharpen it up a little more. I have another idea on the balance I'll try and repost. Thanks Axel.

Here ya go Axel. That's my solution. I think it helped. I also sharpened that leading wing a little more. Thanks again and never - stand under an OsprAy! :D

Intense stare! Nice work taking out the bush whacker. I'd agree a little more room on each side would help. Sharpness looks good to me.

Thanks David. Maybe I can pick up some of that pile I cut and paste it on the side.
