This should be titled Motif:Motif: since you've got the next two weeks covered. A great family dinner photo. Very well executed Jim.

GREAT shot.

Great light and shooting to you all!

Awesome timing. I love the wing position and amount of spread. The fish looks like it was chosen specifically for a little one.

Too cool. 8)

Jim,
Terrific shot. How in the world do you get ospreys with a 160 mm focal length? I think I see a sharpening halo.

Show off. ;)

Excellent shot overall, with double bonus miles for getting not just two but THREE (4 really) of the various motifs of the various boards. Had you only shot it in the SW in the fall... well, it's nice to still have goals.

The photo was taken from my boat on the Lake where I live. The Osprey nest is one of several that is on top of a marker sign in the lake.

I really envy you on this one. Unbelievable story and timing. The adults focus on the young while the young is locked on to the incoming adult with lunch! Outstanding expressions.
