I went down to the Marshlands Conservancy, Rye and got some pretty good action with the Osprey. I was never expecting this though. We, Avi Kenny and I, were facing the other way when he turns around and... there he is, flighing right overhead with his new catch :D . It was really amazing watching him.

Great catch for both of you. Agree with Steve comment about softness.

I like this. Ospreys carrying fish are always great to see. You did well stopping him with that SS.

Good comp. A little more USM might help

Great capture of the action, Eric. The lunch really makes this one. My nits have been covered.

Oh man this is neat. A little soft in the head but not too bad.

Nice one Eric, but a bit soft from what appears to be a bit of motion blur.
