This is a beautiful image, Denis. The pose is perfect (IMHO) - nice angle on the head and breast, full wing span, soft colors, and nicely positioned in the frame. I might want to remove some of the pink cast from the bird itself if possible, but that's just me. Well done....Gail.

[Arthur Morris]

Well done. Love the pose and the sweet light and the positioning of the bird against the cloud. I would do a Curves adjustment to give it just a little more pop.

I have never seen an Osprey with such a distinct breast band; do you know if you have a sub-species down under?

later and love, artie

Very nice image. I love the colors in the sky and the cloud being there is fantastic. Well executed :)

[Fabs Forns]

I am absolutely in love with this one!!!

Love the pink sky, the soft light and the low contrast.
Work of art as far as I'm concerned :)

Big welcome, Dennis!

[Jim Neiger]

Wow! Nice light, bird, pose and fish. The pink cloud is really something and makes the image.

[Jody Melanson]

What a beautiful bird! Wish I could see full size. Personally I would add just a smidgen of contrast.

[Denis Glennon]

Thank you Gail; much appreciated.
I am unsure as to how I might remove some of the pink cast from the bird as I am an absolute amateur on Photoshop and very new to photography.
However, it cannot be too dificult. Will try.
Kind Regards,
