While everyone else was trying to photograph the Ospreys that were flying directly overhead....these guys came through. They kind of had a look that was saying "What are we doing here with all these Ospreys"....or perhaps "Why stay here because no comes here to see us"

Hi Ken - IMHO - a little more separation between the birds is called for :)
The front bird is a little soft in the head/area obviously the focus was on the bird behind and the dof was not enough to cover the front bird as well - some additional sharpening might help.
Cloning?? artifact top LHS - and maybe some more room up front for them to fly into.
Love the coming toward you flight pose and how the two birds are in symmetry pose-wise. Wish the focus is on the front bird and more separation between the two.
Hi Ken, Lance covered all points I had in mind. I generally shoot at F8 but found that 2 subjects almost have to be on the same plane for them to be sharp at that fstop.(distance from subject also has something to do with it.)
Looking to see more...
