A nice flight shot of the Osprey, Peter. I like the typical hunting tilt of the head. You might try doing a bit of brightening on the eye and see if you like the way it pops a bit more. Good work.

Nice shot Peter. I think the suggestion to brighten the eyes is a good one. Osprey's eyes are wild!
I have the same lens and have been trying to get a shot like this for a long time. Osprey's are not too common in my area of KS.

Nice in flight shot, Peter. I agree with Dennis and the others on brightening the eye a bit, but other than that, it is a wonderful capture of this Osprey doing with they do, hunt for prey.
