Many thanks Pam. I'm still learning with Color Efex Pro, but I am enjoying the results.

Lots of these hawks out there this evening, not too hard to grab a shot of one soaring by:

This one surprised me, popping up from the ground in front of me, quite happy to get a usable shot:

Both with K-50 and A 400/5.6

Stop that, your'e going to make me get one! (D FA 150-450)
Nice sequence, I've always had trouble with contrast on ospreys, their white seems to blow out no matter how much I under expose.

Yep, love them.
That's a big nest. Many seasons old?
