michaellinder 16,613 Posted April 2, 2022 Giangiorgio, how I wish that I had the osprey's neck flexibility. Its posture affords a different perspective on the bird's feathers for the viewer. Of course, its golden eye also draws one into the image. Another example of your ineffable ability to photograph birds in the wild! - - My best always, michael - - - Ciao! Link to comment

vincentoiseau 83 Posted April 4, 2022 Hi Giangiorgio, a fantastic shot of this osprey! This is a posture that we don't see so often, and I like it. Beautiful even lighting and background blur. Kind regards, Vincent Link to comment
setsail728 15 Posted April 4, 2022 superb shot! We have Ospreys here but they're always in the air when I see them! Link to comment
Giangiorgio Crisponi 498 Posted April 4, 2022 Vincent, I took this picture from the window of my car, the passage of cars did not disturb this osprey and I was able to observe him while he was cleaning his plumage, I'm glad you appreciated it , ciao Giangiorgio Link to comment
Giangiorgio Crisponi 498 Posted April 4, 2022 Warren many thanks for your visit, you must observe which is the roost where it stops after the flight, and try to photograph it with the sun behind you, I am glad you liked it, ciao Giangiorgio Link to comment
