Well, not perfect... But it's the first time I've caught an in-flight fishing sequence, (yay!), so I wanted to share it.

Any comments or tips would be greatly appreciated!

    Really like no 1, really gives an idea as to how large a wing span the bird actually has, impressive.

    Yep, number 1 for me as well. Really like this series (and the 200-400 lens ;) )

    I'm here to learn so please feel free to give me constructive criticism to help me become the photographer I desire to be.

    Pear, I like all of them, but I do like #1 best. For me, that shot is special because the water is stirred up, showing the trail where the fish literally just came out of the water. It gives that photo such drama and action, in addition to what others have said. Super series! Where was this? Best, Pam

    Excellent work capturing this sequence. The osprey had to been moving very fast, this was not an easy sequence to captrue.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Wow! Thanks so much, Chris, Mark, Pam, kdog, Harry, Gale, Dennis, Peter, for all your very kind comments and encouragement! They are very appreciated!

    Chris, Mark and Pam, thanks for singling out the first as the better of the series. I was very focused on the pretty wing patterns, and hadn't considered the dynamics of that one. Good to remember!

    Harry, you are so right! So fast, I wasn't sure I caught anything...

    Thanks again and best wishes everyone!
