Takeout lunch

Continuation of the scene below in which an osprey circled, dove into the water with a big splash, emerged with a fish and carried it to a tree to eat. Once again, I’m not sure who took this since Tim and I were trading cameras the whole day and we both photographed parts of it, but again, I’ll guess Tim did.

At first I thought there was dust on the sensor or something, but then I realized those specks were water drops dripping off the fish, it was that fresh.

Taken at Huntley Meadows Park in Fairfax County, Virginia, a marvelous wetland, meadowland and forest area about a half hour outside Washington, D.C.

This is a very nice shot! Looks pretty sharp at the eye with most of the bird in what looks to be good detail with little fall off ( wise use of f/8 aperture). V
