Love the deep blue background. Nice wing position on the Osprey and great turn of the head,

Love the horizon the BG given the image much more than an 'against the sky only'-shot ! Great look from the bird as well ! Best, Hans

Sweet flight shot of the Osprey Mike. I like the wing position and the inclusion of the water. The details in the bird are sharp and the comp looks right on too.  Well done!

I really like the dark sky as the backdrop on this one Mike. It really helps to make this Osprey jump off the page. Nice work!

Simple and so elegent. The Osprey has always played second fiddle to the eagle but does deserve our respect. Beautiful capture.
