I ended up finding, a new Osprey location one day. Yes, google can be a great resource! I arrived and starting shooting. Ten minutes later, a suv slowly pulled up. The guy was very nice, just seeing how the shoot was going. He then asked ,If I knew about the other spot. I answered with a No? He said to follow him, he'd take me their. So off I followed. It ended up being fantastic. A pair have settled on a hydro pole. Quite low, for this type of nest. Best of all, the light angle and birds flight pattern, were excellent. I can't wait to reshoot again. This time, a little later in the day. Possibly with a reflector, lighting the nest area. Should be great!
Image was cropped and very little pp adjustment. Some sticks from the nest, were removed from the scene. Converted to jpeg for dpc |

| And I see it was a 4000th! Man that should be fast enough? It's pretty sharp, yet the crop and jpg compression maybe reduced a bit of the sharpness the original would have had? |

Lovely shot, great focus but slightly faster shutter speed would have made it a 10, perfect sky, good title. Wildlife story. I feel it has been cropped quite a bit. Worthy of NG? Due to the technical difficulty and presentation, I think so. Also a possible  vawendy? |

Wendy. Lovely capture. The signature blue and the great focus are ... inspiring.
I may or may not be voting, so please do not equate my comment with any score. |
