Osprey on Patrol

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted April 23, 2012119 views2 comments

The osprey are back this spring & sitting on the nest on the channel marker. This image was taken 4/21/12. This particular nest is on the intercoastal waterway near Cape Lookout, NC. They get a little nervous when we pull up close - one will leave the nest & circle & the other will remain. We don't stay long to prevent too much aggravation. Please view large for better detail.

For some reason, when I load this image to the web, the sky looks "overcooked". Not sure why it's doing that - I'm using conversion to "save for web & devices" in CS5 & converting to sRGB. Should I also check "embed color profile"? Would that help to render the colors exactly?

5DIII, 70-200 2.8 w/2xiii extender - 1/2500 sec., f5.6, ISO 320, handheld from a moving boat.

Wick the colors look good on my monitor. I like the intensity of the osprey's eyes here.
