Pertinent technical details or techniques:
I know about an active Osprey nest locally and went down there this morning and found an adult female in the nest, and this adult male in a nearby tree. It let me shoot him for quite a while before taking off and I got lucky with the light, and its chosen direction to go. It was so close I cut off body parts on most of the shots but I caught him all with this one. D500, Nikon 200-500 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, 1/4000th, f 8.0, 280mm, ISO 1400, hand held, AI Clear, cropped to 4323 x 3244

Pretty good detail on this shot Dave. Good wing position and great lighting on the one eye as it’s side lit. The talons are also lit up nicely and I actually like the inclusion of the tree in the background. Colors look pretty good to me too.
Wonderful flight pose, Dave, and I like the angle. Looks like it’s coming right at you. It could be me, but that sky looks like a really odd and bright shade of blue.
I like the position and dynamic pose of the osprey. Nicely captured.
I can’t get past the blue sky as a major distraction. The color doesn’t look natural and it is fighting the subject for attention.
