love the eye peeping through the wing and great detail and sharpness here. I also like the cool blue water, but wish for the bird to be a little lighter - easy to fix...

The Osprey just grabbed for a fish and missed--------my best guess. I like any action packed photo with good techs and composition like this.

BTW, thanks for commenting on my American Oystercatcher. I agree that my EOS 3 with the 100-400 IS x 1.4x cannot compete in sharpness with a camera body that is digital with a 1:1 censor from Canon or Nixon and probably more with a fixed length much pricier lens.

I would like you to look at the sharpness of the Spotted Towhee posted here. It was done with that same 10 year old equipment.

Best,

Peter

I loved this image , nice cool Bg and water splash around
Agreed with Morkel about lighter image

Nice action, and wing position. Tack sharp. The bird is a bit centered, and the color temperature a bit cool. You could try a warming filter, under photo filters in PS.

Love the pose and the water droplets - I too think it could be a bit lighter for my tastes.
