    Amazing pose, light, exposure, details and bg to go with your signature top-notch IQ.
    Love that fanned tail. Fantastic work, Arash.

    Here is a large version for better detail definition. Ideal position of the boat and proximity of the osprey nests to the boat allowed us to pull a ton of close up detail from the ospreys while keeping the BG blurred. It is a unique shooting opportunity.

    I should thank Jim Neiger again for taking Doug and I on his boat, the afternoon after this shot was made Jim got sick because he had been taking us around non-stop to every single location four days in a row. He took us out again the following morning despite that he wasn't feeling well. Doug and I owe him a lot.
