Hungry?

I like these shots when a bird is flying directly toward the viewer with prey in talon. Wish the legs were dangling a bit more, but he had a ways to fly yet before reaching his destination.

What a catch for both the bird and you! Very sharp, perfect exposure.

Geoff, good focus. I have a lot of trouble with birds flying towards me. Love the look on the Osprey's face.

Wonderful wing position and eye contact on this head on view. The larger image shows nice detail through out the image, nice job in getting this shot, way to go.

Excellent shot - both eyes visible, tack-sharp, great wing position, and a huge fish - the biggest I've seen for an osprey, and he's working hard to carry it.
Super image!

Real sharp Geoff, love Osprey shooting! This is excellent. One nit, no way to crop out or clone out the BRC?? Just a thought, congrats.
