Osprey

I saw this osprey swoop in and pick up seaweed from a sand bar for its nest. Seen at Ding Darling NWR.

Excellent flight shot, Allen. I like the wing positions and you maintained detail in the whites on the head very well. Interesting seaweed-it looks more like lichen off a tree. The scattering of water drops behind adds a lot to the image.

Hi Allen
The sun light really helps this photograph. The Osprey really pops out of the muted background and the color, detail and framing look great.
Nice work.

I will echo what Dennis said state that this is an excellent flight shot with a really nice eye level position. Excellent color, detail, and composition. I don’t know that the water drops in the right lower corner add anything and I would probably clone them away.

Another excellent flight shot Allen. Lots of detail and excellent pose. Nice that you caught it with a bunch of nest material.
