Where did you take this picture? Not in Iowa, did you? I ask because it appears to be an osprey, which is a sea bird.

Gret shot, good clarity, majestic bird, and you captured the action.

These are the shots that make you proud to be a photographer, eh? What an awesome bird of prey! I just love the full extension of his wingspan and how close you took the shot so we can admire all his beautiful details. Great one!

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

This is a top class picture of an Osprey. The fact that you have captured this glorious hawk on camera is an excellent piece of work on it's own. But to have done it so well - sharpness of focus, no motion blur, good compostion and deep depth of field. This is sheer magnificence. Well done.

Excellent shot- love the compostition of the image. What a great moment to capture! The lighting on the bird is interesting too. I think the only thing that detracts from the image is that the sky is kind of washed out- or plain or something. But that would require quite a bit of post-capture editing- and skies are tough anyway. Overall this is an excellent image- thank you for sharing!

You did an awesome job with the settings on your camera. The speed setting was just right to make the bird still. I usually get flustered trying to focus in on things in motion.

Great picture.
What is this for a bird and do you know sometimes also the attachment amplitude of its wings?

Great shot of wings open for a beautiful bird. Looking at its head, you can see it is totally concentrating on either landing or prey.
