 I have been lucky enough to find a lovely osprey nest just 40 miles from my home. It is nice and close to the road and I have been using my car as a blind. I have named them Ozzy and Oprah. I have been able to take lots of shots, however this fishing shot I took today really stands out.

nice shot, but a bit of a shoehorn for the topic

Hmm...I am going to say that this is DNMC.

Beautiful shot, but a little over sharpened. It's a real shoehorn job for this challenge. And fishing is not sport for the osprey, it's survival. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it should have been saved for Free Study.
