avian friends Osprey On The Wing

Phil, thanks for commenting on my Canon EOS photo of the week.  This is a great flight shot, Phil.  Good light, the eye is bright and clear, even the wing tips are sharp.   Well done.

A closeup of an osprey in flight (even better, catching a fish) is on my list of desired shots.  I'm going down to Florida (Ft. Myers and Naples) for 10 days this Thursday.  I hope to capture a couple of these amazing birds in flight.

Thanks again!

Dennis

Dennis,

Thanks so much for the comment!  The points you make are very helpful.  I hope you get some really great shots in Florida!  I see that a lot of the bird shots on this site are taken in that State.

With great appreciation

This is a great capture......... crisp and clear with a DoF that clearly isolates the subject. The larger view is stunning. Love the eye.

Well done..............

Regards

Grayham,

Thank you so much for taking your time to leave comments on this shot.  It really helps me to have your professional perspective on my efforts.  Thanks again.

Hi Phil,

The sharpness here is due to a good lens used properly.

The Canon 400mm F/5.6 L at F/5.6 is as good as it gets for this lens.

It is nice to see good shots taken .

Best Regards,  Mike
