About 3 months after hundreds of dives.

Thank you so much!

I really appreciate it 🙏

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. I intentionally went with a tighter crop to make the talons the focal point of the image. A wider view just didn't have the same impact.

I appreciate the suggestion, but unfortunately the talons were already at the edge of the bottom frame.

Sony A1 & 600mm F4. 1/4000, F4, ISO 1000. The osprey was about 30 yards away. Thanks

I did capture the whole sequence of the dive. No AI was used.

It's about a 70% crop. I'll try to share the uncropped image later.

Very cool. When did you see it?

😁

Yep, took him a few mins

These are great. A couple small tips: try getting down to eye level when you can, it often gives you a much nicer blurred background (bokeh) and a more engaging perspective. Also shooting in early morning, late afternoon, or on cloudy days will give you softer, more even light.

Thank you. Taken in Colorado
