    Default Osprey landing in the nest

    Another image from last year's Florida trip. Taken from Jim Neiger's, Jim did all of the work positioning the boat carefully for the best possible landing angle. Doug and I were just standing and shouting
    :D

    You seem to have an unlimited supply of great Osprey shots . Nice wing pose and HA. My only remark would be a slightly larger separation between the tail feather and the stick, and darker the sticks in the nest slightly.

    I love the angel wing position. Agree with Clemens re: stick and tail. I would clone stick back a bit to separate them. Another great flight shot. It must be boring to get all these great flight shots over and over and over!

    Stick really does not bother me but easy to get rid of as Gail suggested.

    Bird well done, as always. I like the tack sharp talons.
    I agree with Clemens on the sticks
    You might also consider removing the extremely OOF bright spot to left, and bright one at upper right. Will keep the attention on the bird.

    Excellent comp, pose and exposure, Arash. The vertical does indeed work very well here.
    Your keeper rate is astounding!

    Really nice bird as usual.
    I think having the nest in focus would have improved it.
    If the stick which everyone mentioned was sharp, it would not be an issue.
    I realize that the DOF was probably impossible to get, but it would have been nice.

    Hi Arash, perfect timing for this landing pose, and just love the raised wings. Good DOF on the osprey, tack sharp, and overall well exposed. Killer BG too. Well captured.
