Great shot. He must have had a bit of a problem getting that huge fish up onto the branch.

Wow -- great shot! I almost choked when I looked at the price tag on some of the Canon 400mm primes!
Great shot. I did like the download.
Excellent catch, for you and the osprey. That fish is huge.

FYI, Jack Cravelle is edible - but very bony for the amount of meat and mostly not worth the effort for us humans !
I have done a slightly tighter cropping cloned the stick out of the sky and this is the image I posted on Fine Art America ......link below.

I stopped by your fineartamerica.com-beautiful photographs!!!
I like to watch Ospreys hunt. There was a big male in Mt. Dora, Florida who used to fly around every time he caught a big fish and show it off to his friends.
The bird in your picture appears to be female, by the way. The "necklace" in females is slightly easier to see, and the stripe on their head is slightly darker.
Great photo.
Thanks again to all who made the visit and inspiring comments on this ! 8-)
