osprey pair

Working hard on getting birds images showing movement. This pair was far away and I waited quite a while for some activity other than morning preening.
I appreciate comments and suggestions.

Real difficult to see any detail, but I love the fact you were able to capture two Ospreys and seemingly with just the right amount of aperture, so well done for that Sue :^)

Composition-wise, I think I'd prefer this in portrait/vertical with a little more space at the top, which of course there may not actually be.

Hi Sue: You certainly captured an interesting interaction between the two ospreys. I'm guessing this is a pretty significant crop? If not a vertical crop, then I'd think about less room on the left and more on the right since that is the direction of the movement. Colors feel like they are a bit too saturated.

I cropped from the left and think it does improve the image. Thanks
