It's Osprey season at Bolsa Chica again! I know many will object to the clipped wing-tip (and so do I), but I love the intensity of this image... naturally I have several other non-clipped images of this landing, but they're just not quite the right moment... oh well, next time. :wink:

MkIIN, 500/4, Manual Exposure, f5.6 @ 1/4000, Iso 400

As always, Thanks for looking...

Agree with your assessment Vince. This image is about the intense stare at the target perch and the extended talons. The clipped wing doesn't detract from any of that.

Cool pose captured, Vince. I am undecided about the wing clip.

Sweet catch of this moment, I would consider cropping some off the top and left side to focus in on the action. The wingtip is no big deal in this one.

Too bad on the clipped wing ...
A dynamic shot nonetheless, Vince!
