Osprey in flight

[Grace Scalzo]

For this image, I let the camera do my thinking.
Av mode, f 6.3, ISO 400, 1/1600, spot metered on the bird.
Canon 50D, 500 + 1.4tc + tripod planted firmly in poison ivy. :(

Bird looks good, nice wing position and sharp, nice exposure, the BG is a little busy for me especially with different "layers" at different degrees of blur (OOF). hope the poison ivy wasn't too bad

[Charlie VanTassel]

A lot going on in the background, but you really nailed the exposure on the bird.

[Stu Bowie]

Excellent exposure on the osprey, with a great flying posture. I feel if you could blur the BG slightly more, it would really make the osprey pop. Still, well captured Grace.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Almost perfect HA. Love the BG and wing spread. Positioned well in frame. Congrats! :)

[Joe Senzatimore]

I like it as is. It's different then most flight shots we see. Camera did a good job on exposure and you did a good job on comp.

Nice comp, excellent exposure and terrific pose! BG is a bit bussy IMO, but I like the shot despite that. Congratulaitons!
