Just finished going through my pictures after a week in SW Florida...What a spectacular time! I go once a year and after each visit, I gain new appreciation for all you bird photographers (especially those going after warblers and the like)!

Of course, I enjoyed photographing many of the large wading birds of the area as well as some shorebirds, but none matched the thrill of simply witnessing, let alone photographing, this Osprey family. I'll have more coming in the next few days...

A great picture of the family. Instinctively when I look at it I kind of want a little more of the nest, just down a tad more. Did you crop any off the bottom?

I have never seen osprey so young, very cute!

agree with Heather, my eyes are looking for a bit more at the bottom.

Cool family portrait. Great job getting all of the birds separated from each other. Maybe a little more on bottom if you have it. 8)

Nice wingspread Daniel. The birds look a little soft and contrasty to me. I like the family setting.

The crop has already been covered. I might also have opened this up 1/3 to lighten some of the dark areas. Still in all a good behavioral shot.
