(This Osprey just didn’t want anyone using the Smith Neck Road Boat Launch on the Back River Old Lyme, Ct. The shot is cropped by around 70%.
Thank you for stopping by.

A beautiful specimen of an Osprey, Peter. It looks to be in prime plumage. In the large version, it’s a bit soft, probably due to the crop. If I recall correctly, you do your processing in Lightroom. I think it has a healing brush feature of some kind these days, so you might remove those two bright sots under the Osprey’s tail and the one bright grass stem that angles in in the lower left quadrant-for some reason that grass blade is an incredible eye magnet.
