[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I happen to see this mother Osprey in her nest while driving, Used the only camera had with me, so was limited with the fixed lens. As I approached the nest she took flight and this was the best of several shots.
She certainly let me know she was not happy with my stopping to take photo's

I don't have much time for TL in the summer so hope some of you enjoy this.

PP work consisted of unsharp mask (radius 2.00, strength 210, clipping 4) and resize for TL
I tried using levels to bring out the white underside but did not like the results, so left as was.

Thanks for looking comments always welcome

this is freedom :)
very nice

WOW! Great shot here Wayne! Caught in flight! Not easy to do! I'm sure she wasn't happy with you, but that's ok, she is now famous on TL!

I totally missed your postings Wayne, I thought indeed you had no time at all.

Love this bird in flight.

You could probably use the levels and bring a bit more light, but then you have to only work on the bird, and leave the rest.
Can not make a Workshop, because they are gone for the day, maybe I try tomorrow.

A good capture - great composition with the bird having space to move into and nice details in the head and in the feathers.
Thanks for sharing
Mark
