Capture these two Ospreys last weekend when I spent two days with Chas working one on one. It was really every educational as we worked in the field and spent some time with Photoshop. All in all it was time well spent.

Jack, wonderful comp. the image looks a tad flat to me. Maybe a slight adjustment in curves.

I agree with Alan about being a tad flat, I would push the whites a tad brighter and then the mid-tones!!, otherwise very nice!! Congrats!!!

Jack:

Not very crazy about the composition, I believe the nest is kind of overpowering. Looking forward to see more pictures of Ospreys.

I like the concept of the bird returning to its mate in the nest. Very nicely done. I would crop about half of the nest off the bottom and add some contrat to make the birds pop a bit more. That Chas knows a thing or two about a thing or two.
