Thank you for your generous review. The blurr in the wings of the young adds motion in my opinion. It is caused by the natural furiously wing flapping of the youngster, the wind and the DOF.

Thank you Galia. I always appreciate your reviews
Comment from robinwing
A very good and colourful action composition of a bird of prey.
Sun light directlyon the subject which clearly defines birds structure and body movement.

A very nice image. A shame his wing is out of focus but obviously he was moving it!
I like the composition of this very much.
Good work and thank you for sharing

Thank you for your generous review. Yes he is moving. Young Ospreys are flapping their wings continually and furiously. The way of nature to straighten them. There is also wind. But I'm not sure if it would even be possible to have both the head and chest of the bird and the wings in clear focus in this position. This youngster has already a wingspan from 3-4 feet. [The full grown bird has 6 feet].

Broken camera or not, you did a great job on presenting this guy. I like the other wings in teh background, and him mimicking them. Wonderful presentation.

Thank you so much. You made my day. I was much criticized on this for the blurry of the wings in the background and on the young bird himself.

Thank you for your generous review.Over sharpened? Oops! Most people write it is blurry, not sharp enough in detail. Now I'm really discambubled. I had focus set on head and chest. Not sharpening or anything else than cropping the photo was done with the computer.
-
Dont be......You did a good job.
I just noticed alittle jagged edges is a small area.
Can be from overshapenning in Processing but
you said you dident do that. Also could be caused
by to much cropping and resizing or even upon uploads.
Takes time trust me........:)
-
also I always zoom into 200% when view the final version
or during processing. Helps a lot but Im sure you know that......

Yes I know that but I have bad vision. It doesn't work the same for me as for normal people.
-
Mmmm, No I didn't do processing, really. I would tell, but I did a lot of cropping. This cropped version is about 30% of the original. May be it came because I keeped the original and worked with a copy?
-
When you work on your copy do you save it as a jpg everytime you open it to do something different because if you do you loose a lot of quality.....Everytime you do something to a jpg and save it it gets compressed more and more cause its a compresable file. If your working a tiff file then your not compressing cause it not a file that compresses or so not like a jpg. Once I converte my original Raw to
tiff and get it processed the way I want I will save my RAW file as the
negetive and then I take my tiff file and I will converte it to what I call
my on line print that I use for uploading to sites and than I still have my tiff file and if I want to make more changes I will work from that tiff file
not my Raw one.....Cause my tiff file was processed the way I wanted it
from the Raw. If I want to start from scratch I would use my RAW file.
Jpg compresses more than a tiff. Im sure you probably know all this.
I wouldent worry about the photo it just had the one little area and was
not bad. Its a lovely shot.
-
Yes, I save as Jpg. It's probably what does it. I know about the RAW and tiff. The problem is my laptop. It has a memory problem. It was there from the beginning but get worse with the new digital cameras. My pictures have 1-2 MB even in jpg. I have still 31GB of memory but the vivid memory is still giving up when handling RAW or tiff freezing the computer. It's an 2004 HP and it's getting old now but it was never working well with pictures. I can't paint in big format either. I'm thinking of a replacement of the computer

4.5 due to some blurriness, but beautiful shot. I love thecapture here and the angle you shot at. Great details, and colors in the feathers, too. Wonderful job.

Thank you for your honest review. I don't mine the rating, Stars aren't of much interest to me. Only the reception of the photo. My work is not made for beauty allone, the most important part is the information in it. If I don't get this information over I have failed. You mine a certain blurriness as a flaw. If so not the picture is wrong but my concept. So tell me if I'm wrong with it. For the blurr of wings is part of the story. I don't make pictures for decoration or beauty but to tell stories of life. The focus is on the head and chest of the young Osprey and this part is clear. The blurr in his wings is motion I wanted. He isn't drying it's wings or sitting still. In their own environment in their age they are in motion continuity and furiously flapping their wings rapidly. It's their exercise. The exposure and DOF is set to show this. The blurr of the wings in the background is a parent. It only shows the parent is near by. If I wanted the parent as a a subject I would have shown the whole bird. So I used the natural blurr of the farther away subject as an additional point. Nice as edition but not necessary to tel the main story. Do you think my concept is wrong or did I made wrong decisions to transform it into a story telling picture.

All I am saying is that the wing is a little blurry.............
Comment from Dazzleme
Nicely done with the light and the focus for this. Your shot of the hawk here is good. I just fine the other bird in the shot is a bit distracting and takes away from the subject but having said that this is still a good shot.

Thank you. I appreciate your honest review, The other bird is a parent of this youngster. I tought it more enhancing than distracting for the wing flopping young Osprey but that's me and I may be wrong.
Comment from Smurphgirl
What a lovely photograph of this young bird. I especially love the wings of the parent in the background. Nice subject, great detail and very good work. I think this is a very good entry for the contest too.
