Osprey feeding time

The nest was on top of a dead tree in a ravine and I was able to be pretty close to eye level for the shot.

Canon 7d
100-400mm at 360 mm
ISO 100
1/640 at 5.6

Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Nice capture of an interesting behavior. Like the eye level aspect as well. Might also work well as a pano crop.

Perfect timing for this shot. Overall the image seems a little soft to me. See what others think. The content is fantastic and I too like the eye level pov.

Excellent image of the interaction between parent and chick. The focus seems to be on the wings as the osprey's face appears a little soft. You must have been pretty close to get this at 360mm.
