Very nice flight shot, Mike. I like the eye contact and the wing angle. I'm on my laptop, so I can't be sure, but the whites on the neck look a bit hot, a minor nit on a fine shot.

Nice detail in both the bright and shadowed areas, Mike and a neat pose with good eye contact.

Nice capture of this Osprey Mike. On my monitor, the whites look completely fine. nice job on the exposure...it really sin't super easy with Osprey (especially in well lit conditions). I might be tempted to bring up the shadows a touch and decrease the saturation in the sky just a smidgeon (even though you most likely didn't add any saturation to it).
