I was at the Everglades and found an Osprey family in a tree dead tree in the parking lot. I setup in the bed of the pickup truck and spent a couple hours with the family. Here is Pops prepping the food for his family.

Wonderful real life image. Love the eye to eye contact. The wing position of the osprey is also excellent.

Remember, a little mild insanity keeps us healthy

Nicely composed behavioral image. I like the eye contact with both the osprey and its prey. The bed of a pickup is sometimes just enough elevation to make a shot work.

Fantastic image of bird/mullet! Proximity of their faces is great. If you've got any more room in the frame to zoom out a bit that might help make the image even better.

Very nice. More room all around would be nice and opening up the shadows would improve the image IMO.

Thanks everyone. I don't have anymore room to open up the crop; didn't have time to get out of the pickup bed. He was constantly on the move flying around with the fish, so I got what I could get. I got a really nice 20x30 poster to hang in my garage.
