This is the last in the dive series before this osprey hits the water. This shot was taken from a long distance but it's the type of shot I had been trying to get. You never know where they are going to go in and you just have to go with what you're given. I hope to get a shot that's much closer next time but I'm happy with this for the time being. I will definitely continue to try and get a better image though. Bucket list. I hope you are not disappointed with the finale. Thanks for letting me share the series with you all. By the way, the osprey did get a fish but I failed to capture any images of it. I lost focus when it hit the water and had trouble picking it back up before it turned and flew away. Another day.
