Osprey and trout

This one could have dropped the fish on me. The 7D really did a nice

job of keeping the focus sharp.

What a great capture!   He looks like he is coming right at you.  I appreciate your posting your camera/lens combo.  It helps a beginner like me determine whats best for birds...and surf.  Aloha.

Excellent shot Steve. Nice color, detail and POV.

yeah............... this is my wish list shot for Xmas Man . outstanding evil shot  10/10

Steve... Even with the tack sharp gaze and water droplets, the slightly blurred wings give a great sense of motion.  Of course, the expression is priceless... Great shot and impressive focusing... Mike

Another great shot from yours, I agree with Michael Mancil's comments. Best regards, Linh Dinh

W:OW___really impressive moment with magical play of the exposure, focus & DOF, especially I like his Penetrative looking & nice attitude, great job, Steve!        Congr. & thanks!       

I enjoyed your wildlife action shot. well done with the color, lighting, sharpness etc. with a shot that is very difficult to capture this well. Great job, take care.

Man, it's a 7 for me Steve! Great shot! (I can not rate 7 though, bummer!).

Great one Steve, gotta love your low angle! This one is a 7 for me.

Awesome shot. Great detials and colors.

The feathers at the tip, slightly blurred add a sort of movement. Good.

A good catch for the osprey....a fantastic picture for you !

Best regards, Anne & Runar :-)

This guy is alert of you and your camera, as he stared at you. Just amazing briliant shot. Very well done. Bravo. 7

Hamid.

Great pose, nice bg, fish looks good, but the eyes don't look natural.  Maybe a bit much PS.

Hey guys and ladies, Thanks for the kind comments...

Monte, the sun caught a reflection there. I almost cloned it out but, hey, it's part of the image. I did clone out a couple of really bright drops of water. The sun was firing rainbow drops back at me.  On a close view, it looks like a talon went into the eye of the fish.. ouch.

Awesome capture. The details, clarity and the presentation is amazing. Fantastic. All the best. Regards.

I love this pict, nice moment

Ah, regarding the eyes on the Osprey.  For some reason I thought you were talking about the eye of the fish. 

I try to not to state something without verification so I popped open the original RAW/DNG file to have a peek.  It turns out that the eyes may have been DULLED a bit in PS but not enhanced.  Recall that the sun was almost directly in it's eyes as indicated by the reflection on the right eye.

When the sun hits those yellow irises they've got bright eyes, what can I say!

A wonderful action shot with great clarity and vibrant colors.
