This is the forth in a series of shot from same Osprey family I photograph on July 29 at the Lieutenant River, Ct. I sued Ligtroom 5 to help with the whites and shadows, The photo was take using a tripod and the cropped is 16 by 9 by 30%. I know I have to work more on my in flight framing. The photograph would have looked better with more room on the lower half of the frame.

Looks like it's just hanging there waiting for the juvenile to get out of its way, Peter. Excellent detail in this one. Flight shots aren't easy to frame-at least for me. I consider myself lucky to get the whole bird in the frame. Luckily with a sky bg it's easy to add canvas where needed. The perch worked against you in that respect for this one. You had a lot more of the perch in the first two posts of this series, so it wouldn't be too difficult to steal some from one of those and add it to this.

Hey Peter,
These two gave you your money's worth and you took full advantage indeed, very nice series.
This image appears to have the best techs of the bunch and I'm very impressed with the detail you managed in all four. I would add a little more room at the bottom if you have it. This series is a perfect example of how hard it is to achieve a proper exposure for capturing Ospreys with their varying degrees of light and dark feathers.
Well done . . . devil

Nice dynamic image. For me wishi the lower bird was facing the camera, but getting two of anything to pose well in the same focal plane is at least 10 times as difficult than just capturing one.

Very nice detail and light on this one. Nice action. You did a really good job in bringing out the detail throughout both Osprey.
