Hi Mark,

That is what you call a frame filler. Superb action / behavioural shot a truly decisive moment in the birds everyday life. :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

You gotta feel sorry for the trout ......it just didn't know what hit it and it has such an astonished look on its face! :eek:

Loads of action there and the trout is essential to finish it off. Very nice.

Dramatic indeed. Very different from the more distant shots.

The eyes really grab you in this shot but I'm equally drawn to the light area in the water which I find a little distracting but is something I would quite happily put up with to have something like this in my library. I might give it a little CCW rotation as well.

mmm...a good action shot but just a bit of a shame that it is quite busy. I like the nice low POV, the position of the osprey and fish are good but it doesn't appeal to me as much as it clearly has to some others due largely to the background. Still a fantastic thing to witness no doubt. :toast:

A slightly 'busy' BG aside, this is a fantastic image Mark! :toast:

Hi Mark

A very dynamic shot. I agree with Andrew about the background but overall the initial impact is great.

It is good to be able to see camera data and compare it to the result obtained. With that in mind, how close are you here - is this image full-frame? I'm sure those of us that want to use this the fish farm in future would be grateful for a bit more detail. Thanks.

Cheers,
Chris
