"This is a hold up"

This looked too funny to not post. The weather was overcast so the sky is pretty bad but these two osprey's were sure going at it. Fun to watch.

Then the attacking one left the scene.

These were shot with the D100 and Sigma 500 with the 1.4tc again.

The composition and the way the birds looks (decisive moment of Cartier-Bresson) is outstanding.

Fantastic shot. Color of sky is perfect like that.

Thanks Paul. I think you are right about it being soft. I will go back and check my processing. My shutter was most likely set too slow and the platform I was shooting on was not the most stable either. All that can sure add up to a soft shot. I also think I may have added too much noise reduction.

Thanks Gilles and Gale. I did like the way the osprey's interacted. They are sure fun to have watched this past week.
