I was trying to get Osprey diving for fish, and this bird flew in and let me fill the frame of my 100-400 capturing excellent detail.

They usually fly away, as I move in.

I love this shot, but it will probably score mediocre.

A good shot is a good shot, even if it's "just a bird". This shot scored well and rightfully so. The level of detail on the bird is stunning and you got this shot at a great time of day when the light was very flattering.

Quite nice, well done.

Very nice. Love the sharpness of the bird against the soft background colors. The crop might be a smidge too tight for my tastes but all in all this would make a beautiful print.
