Osprey

[Bernie Howe]

I got this Osprey fishing at a little pond in Scottsdale over the weekend. I'd like to hear C & C as I am still pretty new at this and I can see progress. I enjoy the comments as it opens up a new way of looking at things.

lovely eye contact and wing pose , IMHO this is touch tight , adding some canvas all around should help

very nice shot Bernie, this one is tough to compose as the eyes will always be in the middle of the frame, as Harshad suggests, a wider crop might help., trying to get the wings away from a corner to corner look.., also early morning light, or late afternoon might work better, as it may give you less shadows.

Excellent timing and wingspan Bernie. A hit of fill flash would really send this one over the top.

Hi Bernie... great wing spread and stare down on you here. Looks nice and sharp! I agree about adding more canvas - in my opinion you could all around, with more left and bottom, and also working the shadows and highlights some. Nice one.

Truly wonderful image this

Nice and sharp full wingspan with great exposure against sky. Agree with adding canvas.
