I think this is your best Osprey image to date. Exposure is good. Processing is generally good. Composition works for me.

You nailed this one, Scott. Excellent exposure, detail and wing position. The nesting material is a great bonus.

Nice work on those tough whites, and interesting behavioral capture. I agree with Richard: among your best Osprey shots.
