Osprey Photographs (1 Viewer)

Hi, I have been trying my hand at some bird in flight photos again, but this time the subject is an osprey. I was pleased to get a shot of an underside shot but wanted to get a shot of the bird flying at me front on. I got one but cut the very tip of the wing off. Have I ruined it?

Also, please find attached 4 images of an osprey on a post from different angles and position of the head. Which do you think is the best of the 4 and how should I go about cropping them? I thought perhaps portrait instead of landscape?

P.S. All the shots are of a wild osprey taken from a boat in the Florida Keys a few weeks ago. What a stunning bird.

Personally, I prefer OSPOST3 (side on with head turned) because the background (bokeh) is better. Don't overcrop it as the palm trees are an important part of the picture.

thanks for that. Cause I was going to make it into a skinny portrait but i'm not going to now.

Cheers
