Osprey hanging out on the cliffs. Rancho Palos Verdes, Ca. (5 years and 1042 days ago)

This is certainly a most eye grabbing image of an osprey. The eye catchment technique is splendid and riveting. I really like your POV, you have us looking up and this gives this bird a rather regal appearance, and he surely deserves that royal look. The dof used is perfect with the complete obliteration of background yet the colour palette supports the main focal point. A bit of blur at the very bottom of naughty leaves getting in the way and I can't help but wonder if you cropped up it would improve the image, make it cleaner and stronger, and a bit of a nip at the top, removing all that negative space would make the focal point tighter and engage us even more than it already does. Sharp, great contrast, simply dynamite.

Thanks for your feedback. I intended to crop the top a bit, but decided against it. I come from a moving image background, thus the 16:9 frame, although this is shot in portrait, funny. My intensions were to give him more head room and keep his head more center weighted.
Thank you again.
Cheers,
Cconk
