Fantastic shot! Amazing creatures in their glory. I love that you were able to capture the juveniles' eye color. I thought they all had yellow eyes. Just stunning!

This is great! I can see why you won this contest. I love seeing these birds. There is a lot of them near my home and I have taken a lot of shots of them but none with the Young.
Very nice!

    Your review is much appreciated! And I agree, sometimes the reviews are baffling. Once I had one who was trying to judge my work, but knew nothing about photography. It was a group of wild parakeets that I had waited for all four to be in perfect attention, with a daytime moon perfectly placed in the background. I was given a very low rating because the moon wasn?t in focus, even though I said in my description that I used f/16 to keep the distant moon from being invisible with bokeh. And then there is the cut and paste reviewer who always says the same thing word for word. Well that is all part of the baggage that comes with amateur reviews. Those things can be overlooked.

In a captivating display of nature's nurturing embrace, the well-taken photo reveals an Osprey delicately feeding her young one. The tender exchange between mother and offspring unfolds gracefully. The image captures the beauty of maternal care. Well done! Good luck!

Wow what a shot! Absolutely spectacular initial impact. Great technical skills. Focus is sharp. Focal point is well placed. Framing is well done and dramatic, which brings the viewers eye back again and again. Not surprised it won. Congrats!
