4K post and an Osprey

[arash_hazeghi]

This is my 4000th post on BPN! I want to take this opportunity to thank BPN members who have taken the time to view, critique, and help improve my photos :) In particular I have had the pleasure of being coached by Al, Fabs and James, their work has always inspired me and my photography has improved a lot by observing and learning from their images. Special thanks to Axel, his attention to subtle detail is a further step towards perfection-danke schon!

This image was made on lake Blue Cypress in Florida, with Al, Fabs and Axel



1D4 500 f/4, f/5.6, 1/2500sec ISO 400. hope you like it :)

Very neat Bhai, loved the details and the wing spread... the fish works well and the open beak with that HA puts this over the top.. congrats on the 4000... keep them coming...

Big congrats on the 4K Arash....BPN is a great learning experience. You will have to return to Blue Cypress Lake in the near future.....I spoke with Joe and Jeanie the other day and there are still quite a few Ospreys on the lake. Great action shot to use as the milestone

Many congrats on this milestone Arash and what a perfect, excellent image to celebrate it with.

[Grace Scalzo]

Congrats on 4000. This is a dynamic image to celebrate with. Beautiful.

[Michael Zajac]

Nice wing position. Good exposure and sharpness.

[Stu Bowie]

Big congrats on your 4000th Arash, and what a great image to share it with. I like the wingspread, and the overall detail is nice and sharp. Good to see his catch too. Here's to another 4000.

[Bill Dix]

Arash, congratulations on the milestone. Lovely image with great wingspread, composition, open beak, exposure. Only thing I might have wished for is the fish's head.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Congratulations on the milestone, it's always a pleasure to look at your images. The wing position, sharpness, open beak and eye contact make this one for me. The whites could go a bit whiter for my taste. I look forward to the next 4k. :)

[Roman Kurywczak]

Congrats Arash! Wonderful image to celebrate with....one of my favorite birds and a super pose!!! Bill.....they rip the head off immediately....so the fish doesn't bite back!

[Michael Hogan]

Congrats Arash, as always a wonderful image. Axel may be right about the whites or it could just have been a dirty (off white) bird :D

Looking forward to the next 4K

[Bill Jobes]

That's one fine image, Arash -- a perfect 'winner' to celebrate the achievement !

[Doug Brown]

Congrats on an excellent 4,000th image and on your growth as a flight photographer! Keep up the good work!

[Aidan Briggs]

Man, you have really been nailing them lately. Congrats on 4000!! Love the wing position and open bill.

Keep them coming!!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Congratulations on your 4000 th post. Great choice of image Arash. Beautiful flight pose with excellent detail , eye contact and the open beak . Doesn't get much better than this ;)

[Danny J Brown]

Wow....4000, I'm a mere babe in the woods. Also I notice that you have a nice, low thread/comment ratio (7.6%) which I think would make Artie happy as it shows you are providing a lot of comments on the images of others as you post your own threads. Regarding the image, it's great to see a compelling osprey shot, such as this, especially with the bloody fish, because for some reason I don't like most osprey images I see. I've always enjoyed your work Arash.....keep 'em coming.

Wonderful capture - I especally like the calling pose, eye contact and fish in talons.

[Krijn Trimbos]

Congrats Arash! Love the pose, with open bill and good wing position. Would like to see this with a bit more midtone contrast. Sure wish this was mine though!
