I agree, amazing!! I have been chasing osprey myself, but nothing this close. If you don't mind, what focal length? (exif?) I use a 500mm and get nothing close to this. Are these cropped? Anyway, they are tack sharp and beautiful, CONGRATS!!

That is a perfect combo, and the closeup was so sharp and well exposed I was shocked to find it was cropped. I really appreciate your response and posting back the exif, I was mainly curious on length of lens. Amazing work!!! Keep it up.
