Tim -
Nice to see the Osprey with something other than a planted Trout.
Thought I'd peek in on the FM board while I'm waiting at the SJ airport waiting for a delayed flight home.

Magnificent images Tim! As someone else commented: Inspirational! I've never seen anything like that first shot in terms of the eyes, determination, claws extended, and perfect form of the feathers. And #2 is almost as if the bird posed for you - just perfect form.
Ohhhhh Tim you are ever ever so close to the pinnacle of Osprey shots in a sequence buddy.
I find #1 thrilling x10! That is wickedly impressive and I love the angle of attack and the great eye shot, a blip later and the eye membrane would have covered up your good color. And speaking of color, this is excellent!! Wow this is intense and I bet there is not one single person near you that is pulling this off Or in front of you
#2 Geeeesh what an angelic wing pose and a display of panfish on the go!
#3 sweet pano with panfish
#4 that is a large wingspread buddy!
#5 remove that diagonal white line and its a winner Tim, looks as if the line is in front of the wings but I know its not? Optical illusion
Update..........I'm calling it your Holy Grail series and voting for top thread!!
Thanks so much Karl, for your kind and generous comments.
I was at the right place, right time and ready, the added bonus of the bluegill is what really
made me happy with these shots.
