Wow Dan, looks like you are getting much closer! You picked up some nice detail on some of these. I think the 3rd one is actually suffering a little from diffraction as it was shot at F13. I normally try to shoot osprey at -.3 or -.7 when you have harsh light, it helps to keep the highlights in check... If you shot these in raw, I would try lowering the highlights and/or whites to see if you can recover some of the whites...
