Good looking bird Jackie I like the exposure and sharpness Fair amount of detail while keeping the whites in check !!

Did well staying with the bird and waiting for a behavior rather than keep making images of the bird eating ... and btw they always eat the head first !!!

Hi Jackie - lots to like here - love the action.
Techs look solid and exposure looks good.
If this were mine (and id be happy to have it) I would have wished for a little separation between the beak and the wing.
Like it - big congrats :)

Hi Jackie,
I like the pose and the direct look and good job with the exposure. If that's from ENP, think I remember the site.

Yes Katie it was Flamingo in ENP. We got to witness some fine displays of the osprey interacting that day.

Looks very nice Jackie, if you can post 1024 pixels wide so that the details would be more visible.

Hi Arash I looked at the post again, and redid the edit. First of all I changed the WB to 5100 as it was set to cloudy, and I thought the sky looked odd. Here is a repost at 1024. Hope it is an improvement.

Excellent re post Jackie. You can now appreciate the details.
Big Congrats on this one.
