Not much new these days (life gets in the way :rolleyes)
So I started a new gallery where I have been reprocessing older images.
Basicly wanna see if I'm Improving.

Any........waaaaay while going over older digi's I came across a shot that I really love/hate.

Oh yeah love it cause it's a catch you just not goin get everyday.
In fact this shot encompasses most of why I keep going back to see what I can see.

I hate it cause it's all wrong, well I'll let you folks decide

Love or Hate it's staying with me cause the memory of the moment is here to stay. Might as well have the proof :wink

Just so you don't go away disappointed, heres one that meets
the "Benjamin" seal of Approval. It's even got classic wing clipping :ivar

Excellent captures Ben. :clap You have turned wing clipping into fine art. :poke

I feel the first one could have been improved with a clipped wing or two.

J/K, great shots. :D

[Maestro]

I like them both! And who cares what others think? If you like the first one because of the cool moment that it was and it reminds of you that then so be it!

I'd love to have some osprey photos like this because I don't!

Very nice Ben - you're right, that first one is a keeper :thumb (I'll take the second too, even with the clipped wing :wink)

Guess I was expecting mixed drinks or beers. :D Nice birdy pics Benny. Do your Westy ospreys have shorter wing tips than our ospreys ? :rofl

Got a brief glimpse of an osprey today! That second shot is sweet! :clap

Ben, have you ever considered flipping the first image? I tried it and liked it. I think it helps the comp somehow.:dunno

Very cool...btw.:thumb

I really can't say why...It just seems more appealing to me. Maybe a left to right thing.:scratch
