Long Island Osprey

[Joe Senzatimore]

One of the nesting pair which have taken up residence on a local beach. From the amount of nesting pair seen , it looks like a good year for the Osprey.

800 ISO f4 at 1/2500th
Plus 1&1/3

Joe:

I like the subtle clouds, exposure,sharpness.
Excellent display of the far wing, tail.

I would prefer the near wing a bit more open/up.

Sounds like you should have some more opportunities.

What camera and lens?

Cheers

Randy

I can see five fairly large dust bunnys in this shot and it looks like there was some cloning done at the tail feathers as I can see a slight tail feather shadow just left of the tail feather. I agree with Randy that the exposure, sharpness and subtle clouds are very nice.

Nice capture and well exposed. i see the sensor spots as well

Joe,
Dust bunnies at F4 - time to clean the sensor.

Nice sharp image, well exposed with a very nice specimen.
I also like the sky this Osprey was photographed in.

IMO a warmer color temp and the Osprey looking at the viewer would make this an even stronger image.

Ditto dust bunnies but nicely captured with a good comp...Nice one Joe
