An awesome picture! Great capture! I watch an Osprey cam on www.wildcam.com, but that is the nest, I don't see them like this!

Congratulations! One of the premier photos on Explore.

Excellent shot of this high-flying bird.
I'll bet the single, "+/-0" exposure, processed in RAW without the HDR would have been even better.

Wonderful shot! I love the detail! You are so good at this! I'd have to agree with Mc Shutter, HDR usually results in a fake color look.
Congrats. This is #38 on the Most Interesting now.

Incredible,looks like there is a spot light on him!Is that the reflection of the water?
Nikographer [Jon] (74 months ago | reply)
Lol camden, maybe the only one who noticed...
I rotated the image 90 degrees CCW, to make it wide and not tall... So, that's the sun setting, coming from the left in the original image. But don't tell anyone ;)
