Osprey Landing in nest, my BEST so far! (no branch this time)

[NancyMoranG]

I posted some a few days ago of Osprey bringing a large branch into nest. This time he was empty "handed" but gorgeous!

These came out well and I am happy for my progress. I only have a laptop so am hoping you see same colors as me.
I did crop, sharpen, some contrast but not much else. C & C appreciated.
Stay warm everyone,
Nancy

vertical crops would help some

You are right, I never thought of that...I was so excited about the photo...
I may be in NY for St Pats Day, maybe we could meet up? keep you posted.

I love me some osprey! Can't wait till they come back to these parts!
Looks like you had a nice nest, and a gorgeous day for shooting them.
