Osprey flight with nesting material

[Laura Pipkin]

Shot with Olympus E3, Zuiko 50-200mm + Zuiko EC20
1/2000s f/8.0 at 364.0mm iso640

I thought a square crop works best for this shot. What do you think?

Thanks much!

Very nice C pose, nesting material a bonus. I don't mind square crops at all, but I see a slight magenta cast on the bird and a the head a bit oversharpened.

Thanks, Fabs! It must be my old monitor as I cannot see the magenta cast or oversharpening... : ( Thanks for letting me know!

The square crop is perfect here. Love the position of the wings.

I think the square crop works well here.
I like the curve formed by the wings.
Good exposure and feather detail.

Square crop is perfect given the wing position, excellent details and nesting material adds a touch of behavior. Head is a tad oversharpened.

TFS excellent work!
