Osprey (Series)

[Idlewild]

Familiar to a few on here but just wanted to share with some of the newer (new to me:) ) members.

First time seeing them for me. Awesome series, especially the last shot!

I like the flaired talon in the last one. Looks like the bird is repositioning the fish and getting ready to grab another area.

The second shot is good, but I wish the position of the bird was flying 'into' the picture instead of 'out' of the picture.

Where did you take the photos, Lake Marion?

Daniel Island, SC. In fact, just down the road from the "creek" in the landscapes section. :D

You know, I am critiquing when you didn't ask for one, sorry about that. I am just so used to doing that it is almost habit. I think I have done that to some other folks too.

Daniel Island, I- 526 runs over that on the way to Sullivans Island? Or am I way off base. I get James and Daniel Island confused.

Great shots Idlewild! Osprey are one of my favorite birds of prey. I love just watching them. But I sure don't have any shots like this. Nice job.

Nice shots, #3 would be a great candidate for adding some canvas and extending the sky so the bird is flying into the frame.
