Another shot of the Osprey that was not very happy to see me appoaching it's nest. There was three youngsters in the nest. The nest was on top of a telephone pole near the road.

Hi Mario,
Very nice capture, this dynamic protective pose makes the shot.
Excellent control of the light with great exposure & sharp detail. Very good color, DOF, POV, comp & blue sky BG.
Very well done!

Salut Mario
Tres belle composition .Netteté et couleurs sont impeccable.L'image est tres claire et nette.Excellente défénition du plumage.
Merci Michel

Helo Mario,
Wonderful pose you've captured the Osprey in, shouting at you.
Excellent composition with great sharpness and lighting and due to that wonderful feather details.
The bird does stand out greatly against the steel blue sky.
Love the color contrast between the yellow of the eye and blue in the sky.
Perfect work.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Harry

Hello Mario,
Beautiful capture.Well caught,framed and composed.Expression on face is excellent.
TFS..:-)

You took this at a great moment Mario - catching the Osprey with it's beak open mid-screech adds a lot to the interest of the shot.
I'd have preferred it if you could have taken it from a higher viewpoint so that we could have seen more of the bird and less of the nest, but considering that it was on top of a telegraph pole that probably wasn't possible!
Overall it's very well taken - good sharpness and the bird looks great set against the blue sky.
Good stuff.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi there,
I am finally back and semi-recovered from my jet lag, so I hope to catch up on some of the beautiful shots I have missed in the past month. : 0
Wow, Mario... This one is a stunner!
It looks as though you are right on top of this osprey. No wonder he or she looks a bit agitated!
Fantastic pose and details in beautiful light. Congratulations!
TFS. : )

Hi Mario,

Fantastic capture of this very expressive Ospey. This could not be sharper - a superb job. The plummage is excellent as is the face, eye and beak. Wonderful colors and fascinating to see the bird protecting the nest.

Jane

Hi Mario. It is almost like you visited the same nest as I.These birds are magnificent, and it is nice they will stay in the nest for the photos. You have nice details and a good bit of action on this one. TFS

Bonjour Mario,

Une bonne prise de vue de ce balbuzard pêcheur qui protège son nid, la photo a une bonne composition, netteté et de jolies couleurs. Bonne journée.
