This holds up well to the crop. Nice image placement. Good shadow detail and color on the osprey. That is a large fish compared to what is caught currently in my area. I think you did well with the processing.

Nice exposure and great wing position in this one, Peter. The intense look on the face of the Osprey adds a lot to the image. In the larger image, the Osprey seems just a tiny bit soft to my eye.

Hey Peter,
Well timed capture for you and the Osprey. As mentioned, the large crop held up well and for one of the hardest birds to capture properly in harsh sunlight, your exposure is close to perfect with good detail between the dark and light areas.
Well done . . . devil
