This osprey (thank you West for the correct id) has showed up for the last two mornings to grab it's fish from our canal......

Thank you, and thank you! Good catch on your part!

Hi Dossy, I like the image. I would crop it just under the tail because IMO the lower part distracts from the real subject which is "the osprey and the fish".

Wonderful capture, Dossy!
Somehow the bird looks really proud with his catch.

 

[Allan]

Nice one Dossy.

Wondeful, Dossy. Maybe you'll get other photos when it returns each day.

It looks to me as if it's afraid of an oncoming thief wanting to take the fish.

Thanks Binnur! I tried the crop and you are 100% right. Muchly appreciated!

Thanks Mike! Or it saw my with the camera! I did take a couple of shots the day before, but sometimes the Florida sun is very unforgiving!

Go ahead, just reach up here and try to take my fish. Classic Osprey pose!

Nice shot.

 

[Binnur]

Yes, the crop looks more to the point Dossy.

 

[Bart]

Probably closer to the reality, Mike.
I suppose I'm just projecting

Second version is indeed a stronger image.
