Sanibel, Florida
Not the best light, but being back-lit was the only option.

That's quite a catch, Sandy. The detail is excellent even with the backlighting.

You did great with this situation...Very good color and detail in the osprey as well as the trout. Must look at this large! thanks for sharing.

Nice job on handling the back lighting, Sandy.

Nice shot of the osprey and fish Sandy. If your scruples allow it you might consider closing out the extra branch? Still got great detail in both subjects considering the backlighting.

This is one helluva good shot, Sandy. The detail and colors are excellent considering the backlit condition. Wonderful impact is imparted by the bird’s eye and glassy stare of the fish. Wish I could get so close the infrequently appearing ospreys in Southern England. David
