Surprise Osprey

[montagdude (Dan)]

I was out the other day not expecting to do any wildlife photography but came upon an osprey in a nest very close to the path where I was. I only had a standard zoom on hand and cropped a fair amount, but I like how it came out nonetheless. I’m wondering if anyone can do better. The RAW file and my JPEG and ART sidecar are attached.

I was going to do a vertical crop, but I really liked the horizontal almost panorama crops.
