I thought the body language on these two osprey was priceless. This was taken at 8am in hazy sun in Hampton Bays NY.


Critique both positive and negative is always welcome.

Mike,

I wonder if they were thinking what you were thinking. Otherwise nice wing position. A bit more space on the right would give a less tide feeling to the image. Looks like they are nesting on someone's pergola. I have seen them on top of traffic signs, above the road as well. Hope this is a little more quiet place for them.

Funnu title:). The look on what we may assume is the female bird is indeed priceless!! I agree with more room, especially in front of the pair. Looks like a less than ideal-looking platform - good call in cropping most of it away.
