Had some time (and better light) lately to be out with the camera... I found this osprey this past Friday. Hope you like it, and your c&c is always appreciated.

1DIV @ 700mm
1/2000 f/7.1 iso800

Thanks,
John

I like this one very much John :^) As it happens, I have one of my own lined up to post in a few days time ;^)

Beautiful wingspread and very nice head in profile, well done :^)

Hiya John!

Great dynamic pose, natural colors and light. Love that you got such a nice view of the eye too. Detail and sharpness look good at the size posted, would have loved to have seen this larger. I see a thin halo at the wingtips you could easily fix, a small issue.
