    Default Osprey Image Two

    Here's a second image of the Osprey I encountered on Bunch Beach (first image posted yesterday). For this view, I've been able to move somewhat closer to the axis of light, resulting, in my opinion, a better head turn and more color in the fish. CC's welcomed and appreciated.

    Very nice shot. I really like the pose, great control on the whites, love the fish and seen its eye is big plus. My only nit is the branch behind it. I find it bit distracting. Other than that....
    Well done.

    Very nice shot indeed, excellent pose & super eye contact, for me the whites are just a little hot.

    Love the composition of the osprey looking one way and the fish eye looking the other, plus that they are nearly in line vertically! On my monitor most of the whites look good except on the head, that lacks detail. If you are inclined to cloning, removing that back branch would be nice.

    Again we have a great look at those talons. Nice pose overall, a bit more of a head turn our way would have been ideal but still OK as is. Harsh light, and as mentioned some of the whites are very hot...worth a revisit to the raw file as you may have recoverable data hidden in those. Unfortunate about the OOF part of the perch. A great opportunity for sure!!
