Perfect capture of the moment, Andrew! The intensity and focus of the Osprey are wonderfully caught. No nits.devil

You've captured a very nice moment. 

The eye, claw and wing position are perfect. Great image

Great angle, Andrew, and you caught a wonderful pose.  Exposure looks about right.  Well done.

Really nice timing on this Osprey Andrew. If mine, I might try to pull up the shadows a little in LR. Still very nice job!

Really nice action shot Andrew. I've seen them do this with floating fish, but I've never been able to be in front of them when it happened. Great catch.

In the large image it almost looks as if there is something in the water just under the surface to the rear behind the left talon.  Nice action shot.

Very nice peak of action shot, Andrew. Cropping off some of the bottom OOF water might be a consideration to increase the dynamics of this terrific capture.
