Checkin Me Out!

[Paul Lagasi]

Today I had a great morning with 3 Ospreys..what I assume was 2 males and a female. One male was trying to entice the others female with a fish. They flew above and around me..for 10 minutes before one gave up and the pair returned to the nest. It was a great opportunity to get some up close flight shots. I will post a few in the next days. Great days ahead as new arrivals show up every day.

Good underwing details and great eye contact. Composition works well, too.

Nice flight shot! Because the bird looks to you it's very good, otherwise it was a bit boring.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Nice shot Paul, love the wingspread and the eye contact. I hope you get a lot more opportunities.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Wonderful wing details. Love the eye contact and placement of your subject.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Nice exposure and detail, I like the wing position here a lot. Congratulations!

[Stu Bowie]

Super comp, and well exposed on the underwing. Nice and sharp, and love the eye contact. Looking forward to more.

When I first looked at this photo, I couldn't help thinking: "This looks like one of mine." I guess Osprey must have been running out of pose for all the photographers.

Nice details and composition !
