    Default Osprey Showing Off

    This is one from Blue Cypress Lake. Sometimes these guys fly around with their catch as if they want to brag. :)
    The image is almost full frame, I just cropped a bit for composition.



    1D4, 500f4, 1/2000s, f/6.3, ISO 400, manual exposure

    Beautiful! Composition is right-on. Eyes on the viewer and the fish make it excellent!

    Excellent Image....the eyes, the fish, the exposure etc... excellent...
    I would try it with the green removed from the bottom....somewhat distracts...
    Best,
    Mike

    Good eye contact, and I like wingspread and sharpness. Good sized meal to feed the family. Well captured.

    Great clear sharpness in the eyes. Open wingspread with the fish in talons make this a pleasing image. Only thing that may make it better is more greens in the background.. :)

    Excellent poise and eye contact. Whole fish a big plus and love the hint of green.
    You got to come back next year :)

    Good moment and details on the bird. Without tree tops it will looks even better, too mush distraction for my taste.
