Here is another osprey image. Last Friday, I hired a park ranger to take me into a cypress swamp to photograph ospreys. We started before sunrise and captured some images of the early sun behind the nests.

Hi Allen
You showed why photographers get up at 5AM to photograph birds. Nice work, hope you had a great day.

Allen: you’ve captured a great environmental scene. I would be tempted to bring up the birds and the nest just a bit, maybe even just the white of the birds. Excellent otherwise. Richard

Superb! Beautiful light and comp. The orange backlight on the branches is quite pleasing.

I love this, Allen. Great job on the lighting to keep the sun from blowing out completely and still get exposure on the nest and birds.
