WOW, great catch! (the photo too:) I watched several Osprey begin to swoop, stutter in flight, and abort their dive over and over again. I really want to get a shot like this of one and their prey. Good job.

Just a really quick edit of your file (hope you don't mind).

Levels, right slider to the left to brighten up the grass a little.
History brush on the sky to bring it back to it's original levels.
Levels, left slider to the right to darken the sky a little.
History brush on the grass to bring it back to it's previous levels.
Shadow tool to ever so slightly bring out some more detail in the grass.
I cropped it somewhat like Greetmir suggested and tilted it to level the horizon.

Like I said, this was a really quick edit of the small file, but you get the point on how it can be improved IMO.



I hope this helps.

Hey Sandy, I just now got a chance to sit down and start going through the lineup post-contest. I remember this shot from the beginning as one of the ones that I thought was going to do really well. Nice crop, nice dark background, and great shot overall. My son, 'yakatyou' sitting next to me asked me to say that he likes it too. Actually, he was looking specifically for this entry to see where it placed.

OMG, there you are, still breathing down my neck. It's been a fun week speculating on who was going to be top banana (or veggie). Very nice shot. Now I want to see that outtake that you mentioned.

I see what you mean about the focus barely being off on the rider. It's not easy. I take a lot of pics of kitesurfers and it is definitely tough to have the focus perfect at the moment that the shutter opens. Otherwise this is an excellent shot.
