Osprey

[bsinc1962]

This is the bookend to the Rebel Yell picture I posted yesterday on the Z6 photo thread.
Not sure if this is the same bird as yesterday but he was chirping away at something under him. Oh and those spots are snow. We picked up another 4" overnight. Ugh.

This is taken with my D850 and 500pf.

Excellent shot of the bird......I'm not crazy about the background, though. Is there a lake nearby that the osprey fish in?

 

[bsinc1962]

Thanks.
On the background the dark is the lake, the light is the snow covered shoreline.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look at evening out the BG.

I'm not bothered by the BG, shows the osprey in it's environment. Good shot, well done.

Thanks. The fire road that I took the shot from looks down at its location.

Terrific work on the bird, can't always pick your backgrounds.

I find the background dramatic, and it adds to the shot.

I am not bothered by the bg either. Nice sharp capture of its expression.

Thanks Louie, this was pretty much the only angle I had. Between the sticks and the backlit sun not many options.

Thanks Nick!

I like the background, too!! It matches the snow on the branches. The bird is fantastic!!

Cool shot. Nice feel to it also. I've never seen an osprey and snow together.

Maybe that's why he's yelling. Lol

Osprey in the snow. Yes that's different. Nice shot.
