    Hi Arash, super comp with the placement of the Osprey, and I like the wingspread and eye contact. Excellent sharp detail, exposure spot on, and I like the OOF foliage LRC. Was this a take off, or landing pose?

    Beautiful soft light and pose. Love the outstretched wings and the talons wrapped around the branch,

    Great pose and detail. These guys are so fun to shoot especially when they are diving.

    Really like the vegetation and perch at the bottom of the frame. Sharpness is up to your usual standard of excellence. Eye contact is good. But you only get an A- for wing position.

    Well-done in every respect that was under your control, Arash.

    I concur with Doug's observation. It would have been the ultimate in perfection if the bird's left wing were just a bit forward, in symmetrical alignment with the right wing.

    Superb shot. Love the wing position, exposed very well, and the look in its face is priceless.
    Well done.

    I have seen so many great BIF shots coming from Blue Cypress Lake. This is one of them, Arash.

    Exposure, detail and colors are exquisite. Eye contact and wing angle add to an excellent composition
