Flight of the Osprey

An early morning outing with this Osprey flying overhead.

Razor sharp details and almost perfect light for the underside of its wings. Love the look you are getting.

Sheesh, Bob. Is this the kind of image that makes you wonder whether you should just quit photography right now?

Astounding image. The light caught the osprey perfectly. I love the clouds in the background. How close did it fly to you?

Thanks! I saw it in the distance and motored the boat closer to him. He was also headed in my direction and flew nearly overhead. I had a combined focal length of 840mm (600mm with a 1.4 extender). Morning light was my friend!

Thanks Alan! Morning light was awesome with a little haze to keep the light from being too harsh.

Wow Bob! That morning light glow on the underside is amazing! This is probably the best Osprey image I have seen! The light and detail is so perfect it's almost like it's a painting.
