Osprey in rain
I have just finished processing my images from a trip to Finland in the summer. I spent some time working with Ospreys and particuarly like the effect of the rain as this female lands back on her nest.
EOS 1Dmk3 300 mm

Super image Paul - I'd be well pleased :toast:

Perhaps ever so slightly too left in the frame, but a cracker nonetheless..

An absolute beauty! I agree you must have been incredibly close if this is full frame.
