Yellowstone Osprey

I found this osprey along the Madison River in Yellowstone. I liked the pose and background. It is a fairly large crop. Hope it holds up.

Comments and critiques welcome.

Jerry, I like the "toes on toes" foot position and I find the perch interesting. Looks like some challenging light.

Excellent detail & light. Though i like the BG, I would consider an even greater crop. I think it would probably hold up.

Great capture of this juvenile Jerry,
The perch, the light, the pose, the detail and the BG all work very nicely as is.
Well Done . . . :toast:
