We got a close encounter of the Osprey kind on the Oklawaha River in Florida as this gal nearly took my hat off. Hand held from boat 90% of full frame.

Certainly fills the frame, and an interesting catch. I think that if you could bring up the shadows a little the fish and bird could both show more detail. A little eye contact would be nice too, but overall an opportunity well caught. Not always so easy to do.

Hi Mike, I also think it is an interesting perspective and like how it fills the frame. I do think the shadows have more detail which can be brought up a bit.

Looks like an osprey encounter at a very close range. Like others have mentioned you might be able to show more detail in the shadows but this would of been real cool to have experienced this, way to go.
