Please tick 'also save High Res, so we can really see this photo, it looks great, but you can't tell for usre in these downsample images.

I did click High Res not sure why it isn't showing up in High Res. Once its posted can I pull it back to my editing program then down load again by clicking edit photo?

You can, but first try to go to my stuff, my entries, and click on edit for this photo and tick also save full res and then click on save changes. You shouldn't have to upload your image again.

Ya thanks I've done that twice already. I'll try again

This is a great photo. It's very dramatic and purposeful.

Thanks ct.. It was dramatic and amusing to shoot. Watching the osprey look for the fish it dropped when it was right under its nose.

wonderful colours

It appears that you have used excessive noise reduction at the expense of feather detail? I like Khaki Campbells

Looks like a Canadian Goose

that is no duck, good shot nonetheless

great detail

lol maybe, im not good with recognizing all the birds

A beautiful photograph, but imho the bird does not seem to be the main focus of the pic... overall a great pic though.. thanks for sharing

I thought that of the full image, the bird was actually the strongest subject. The silhouette is at the forefront and everything else is out of focus or covered with fog. Regardless of the size, i thought the bird was the most important.

I don't disagree with those thoughts, but I think if the bird wasn't in the picture it would still be an awesome photo.. I enjoy it much for all the reasons u mention, the fog, the silhoutte, and the fence bringing u into the pic.

I revised the entry more in line with the contest entry description.

Very nice
