Really like the position of the two osprey. Great camera work. Wouldn't mind if the upper sky was just a tad darker, but fine as is. Thanks for sharing.

Great action, Mike, and the birds look nice and sharp. They seem to have a lot lighter colored plumage than I'm used to out here.

Nice job.

Really cool action shot Mike. It's nice having both heads below the treeline. There is very nice separation against the background too. Detail in both birds look pretty sharp. Great job! devil

Amazing feather detail in both birds. I like the straight line of the tail in the leading bird and the intense look of the follower.

Wow MIke, dead bang sharp for handheld from a boat. Great colors and details in the feathers. They show up very well against the dark BG. Worth the money . . .

Awesome flight capture of this pair Mike. I really like the flight position of the osprey in back.

Nice work getting both Osprey sharp. The position of both birds works nicely and the open beak of the back bird is terrific. Nice work Mike!

Excellent twofer Mike, this is grrreat!! You really nailed that plane of focus, & using f/5.6 to boot..

Dynamic image that also gives a great sense of place, well done! devil

Great action you managed to capture here. The detail is amazing. My only not is the saturation/color. To my eye, it looks a bit oversaturated and the color doesn't seem quite right. I would desaturate and daken the feathers for a more natural look.
