Taking flight

Great job stopping the motion here. Your exposure looks spot on to me. Just wondering if this is a large crop because you took it with the 70-200, or did you actually get super close? My nitpicks are that the bush is a little distracting and I would like to see a bit more room for him to fly into. Great job though, osprey are one of my favorite birds to observe.

I like this a alot. There appears to be another reflection in the building as well but I can't tell what it is. That would be my only complaint but its minor.

I like this image a lot. My only nitpick is that the more I stare at it, the more the little bit of dock in the bottom corner draws away my attention.

That's pretty neat. I'm glad I don't have to drop mine to find out what it looks like on the inside ;-)

Good shutter speed to freeze the action. Looks a little noisy though in the background. The whites look blown out on the face. There are lots of birds that are both dark and white, which presents a challenge trying to expose them properly. Your main priority should be to keep from blowing out the whites. So try to expose the histogram as far to the right as you can without losing detail in the whites. I hope this helps you :)

I love how sharp and crisp it is, but there is too much DOF for me.
