The Call of the Wild

Ospreys are one of my favorite wildlife subjects, and I am always looking for different ways to photograph and present these amazing birds. On this occasion one flew directly overhead while calling. I decided to use a monochrome presentation to focus the viewer on the open beak without the distraction of color.

Nice tight crop. Very nice and different in monochrome.

A stunning telephoto capture of this active Osprey in flight!

Perfect timing to catch this great shot. The osprey is a bit scary looking with that open beak.

Wonderful patterns in those feathers. To open beak is a bonus.

excellent capture...that beak does speak volumes about a predator on the prowl..

I like the B&W also because it makes the viewer focus on their feather patterns and textures too. ~BV~
