Gary:

Excellent capture, with very nice underwing detail, the light really helped you here.
Nice pose, eye contact, exposure. He is working the diagonal line well.

I might consider an alternative version with a little more space to the left side, but it is very nicely composed as presented.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice capture Gary, I like the feather detail, eye contact and comp.

[Stu Bowie]

Perfect comp, with perfect eye contact. Sharp, and well exposed on the underwing. Great capture Gary.

[Morkel Erasmus]

like the diagonal wingspread, and you did well against an overcast sky to expose so nicely!

[Ramon M. Casares]

I would only suggest a little more sharpening, more room all arround could help too IMO, but I do like it as presented. Nice pose, nice diagonal, nice exposure too.
Congratulations!

[Brian Barcelos]

Great exposure, Love the stare and diagonal position. I too would like a little more room to the left. Congrats.

I like wing pose and the head angle of this osprey. Looks like he's coming straight at you and you're on the menu :) :)
