I think this could use a re-crop. I am fortunate to live in an area with great access to osprey nests :)

Hi Kurt,
I like the image and capture, you have fine details and a sharp clear eye...My recommendation would be to crop 1/4 from the bottom of the frame, the nest is a bit over powering...I like the raised open wings, the color rendition is good...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Good light on those birds and love the whites !!! Agree with Gus on the crop and wing position

When checking the nest remember to also check the bg you will be getting ... also get in sun angle Good luck they sure are fun to shoot !!!

Hi Kurt - agree with Gus and AL - must be fun shooting these guys.
Keep them coming :)
