Time leaave the nest

Great wing position on the bird in flight, Peter.  I like the interaction between the two, though a little bit of eye in the perched bird would have been nice.  I think you can go up in the brightness a touch on this image.

Hey Peter,
Nice timing on this capture and I like the interaction between the two subjects. The large version has excellent detail. I agree with Dennis on the brightness level however raising the overall image level may create hot spots on the whites of the Osprey in flight. If it were mine, I would selectively brighten the darker areas of the subject on perch and the under wings of the one in flight slightly. You can also try an adjustment with Color Correction to lighten a bit and give the overall image a bit more pop.
If this was taken in early June, the title of this image does not work. The adults migrate south in early to mid fall individually, first the female and then the male. Although they mate for life, they winter separately and join back up in spring at the same nest each year. The juveniles are left behind to fend for themselves and start their migration 2 to 4 weeks after the adults. The juveniles spent the next year in their wintering areas and do not migrate north until their second year. See more on Osprey migration HERE

Hi Mike
I did start photographing this family of Ospreys in June, but this shot is from July 25, 2016.  I reset the exposer to +.20.

I like the interaction in this a lot Peter. I agree it seems a little underexposed. If you already used LR for your adjustments (as stated) I would simply make a correction with the shadows adjustment. By doing this, you wil not impact the whites (except slightly where there are shadows on the whites). I would then also add some contrast back to the image. It reads a tiny bit flat.
