Man, what can you say! Nice work Mike. The square comp works well and these two are perfectly positioned.

A reminder that spring is coming for some folks. Nice one, Mike. I like the high key approach although I must say I prefer the version here with some vignette shading as compared to the all while on your website. A good perch and nice looks from the 2 osprey. Good poses as well. There seems to be a loss of detail in the birds which may be a result of the 2x TC. I certainly see loss when I use a 1.4 on my 70-200. But sometimes that's the only option. Hope to see more from this couple through the nesting season.

great that you've managed to get both birds facing you Mike
I have similar shots with African Fish eagles but one of them is always looking the wrong way.

Hi I really like the composition of this one with the stick leading to the ospreys.
