Shot yesterday. I waited for awhile for one of the Osprey to come back to the nest to bring some food. It came back empty, just made few passes while female sitting in the nest got really excited and was calling loud for him. He landed in the nest, spend only few short moments there just to reassure mommy and took off again.

1/1600, ISO-640, f/6.3 on the tripod.

Great background colors and comp but I wish for a better head angle. Details look good and I like the yellow eye. Well done

Nice wing position and great BG. Also wish for better eye-contact, but great shot all the same.

She probably said 'don't come back until you've caught dinner!' He has a determined look in his golden eye Ludo.

Very nice in flight shot of this Osprey, Ludo. Good background and detail, and I know you would have preferred more of a head turn in your direction. The pano format works very nicely.
