O S P R E Y

. . . . and they have cost me a small fortune in lenses to get a decent capture of one in flight.
The late afternoon sun and the angle of the bird was helpful here.

Comments please:

I have very little to say...except it is an excellent image. The composition works quite well, it is sharp, and the colours seem very accurate. One of the feather seems cut across, but it might be the angle so I wouldn't even consider re-touching the image further.

Bob,

That is an awesome picture IMO, makes all that money worthwhile! I love the fact that the osprey is flying into what appears a sunset, the clarity and sharpness of the eye is incredible!!

I also really like the right hand wing (birds perspective) and the way the tip is curled up in winglet style and how the light shows up the camber (curvature or there abouts!) of the wing and leading edge! working with aircraft I can really appreciate how far ahead these guys are in terms of aerodynamics!

excellent picture - gives me something to aspire to for bird shots!

(PS, can see more of that sensor dust )
