Took this osprey few minutes to drag the carp out of the water onto the side bank and another 10 minutes of trying to lift it up...Gave up at the end. Probably the biggest carp I have ever seen an osprey tried to fish out.

dropped the carp on its last attempt...but managed to get a new smaller catch an hour or so later

The carp is bigger than the osprey

Nice capture, Thang

See you around

I found it rather amusing how expressive the bird's face was. The transition from 2->3 is "You got this!!" -> "sh!t what happened!"

Cool set Thang! #2 is a super shot. Really shows the size of the fish relative to the bird. Excellent work.

Awesome

I get excited when I see a shot like this Thang, they don't just happen they are made to happen by the photographer and man O man you have nailed this set buddy!

Fantastic frame filler on #1!
#2 sweet determination and powerful wing pose!
#3 A 'Thang' of Beauty

Way to make it happen Thang, you earned these prizes!

The very same thing struck me, especially in contrast with the naturally impassive expression of the carp, which nonetheless was struggling for its life. Very nice nature drama, captured expertly.

I thought the same from 1 to 2. The first is "dang this is heavy!" and 2 is "I CAN DO this!".

Great shots! #2 is my favorite.

Those pictures are amazing! The shape of the wings in all three pictures have such nice flowing lines. He looks so pissed off in the second picture!
