Epic is a word that came to my mind when I saw this. I like the fact that you can see the head of the mate in the  nest. Really nice.

Stunning stuff - I love the thought that went into this image and that you can still see the sun as it sets.  The deep blacks of that scragly nest and the head in the nest are fine elements.  Well thought out and captured

Gorgeous, amazing colors here Dan. Nice silhouette. Not sure it would be possible, but I think I would like to see a bit more space in front of the osprey on this one.

All very good. Hard to pick any faults, but if I had to I'd prefer to see the setting sun on the lhs with the osprey looking towards it . Just to balance the scene in my eyes.

Cheers
John

Nice behavior captured in this silhouette. The extended wings provide a nice sense of movement.

An outstanding action silhouette, with a spectacular sky, Dan.  Neat how the while the sun is blown, it's immediate surroundings aren't.

Spectacular shot Dan, the nest on the left is balanced nicely by the sun.  The colors are wonderful, an excellent silhouette. devil
