Trying a few more with more than the bird and incorporating nest/perch A little easier just isolating on the bird but liking these !! With all of these lining up with the bird at sun able is a must then making multiple exposures to get the wings right ... both for position and even coverage of light. In PS you can help the image some but all that are very dark will not turn out well, best to push the delete button !!! Fun birds !!!
Comments welcome and much appreciated

Very nice Alfred! I only wish that one large stick was not covering its wing. Beautiful light on the wings. Could you have maybe climbed up there and removed the large branch before he returned?:D
one of the better osprey images i ever saw! i didnt even notice the branch til i read the comments. the pose is just so powerful! i'm betting he'd give chicken on a chain a run for his money:D
The bird alone is nice but sometimes it is nice to see them with nest, especially the natural one, showing their habitat.
It is very sharp and like the timing of the bird landing.
This is the bird that I want to photograph, but most nests are not natural.
