That's some sky.... and the Osprey is pretty awesome too. I like the intent look on the Osprey's face and the wingspread. Very nice.

Scott,
Really nice triple colored layered look to the background and fantastic light on the underwings. Excellent exposure for the whites and the browns. Image is nice and sharp and there is good eye contact. Beautifully composed in the frame. Nice image Scott.

Very nice frame Scott. The angle the Osprey is at with the nest material creates a nice dynamic image. The background is really nice with the tones that are in it. Nicely captured.

Super light on the bird and the background colors are very cool. Dave

Terrific frame!
Looks like, as if Osprey is riding on the flying branch!
