Osprey

One of my favorite image , never knew that B&W experiment will be so much fun.
This one gave me an adequate time to shoot him/her , then I started experimenting with different setting of camera , this is an overexposed one.
Osprey in B&W , I purposely overexposed this image.
You can witness ammunition of this top class predator , fierce and binocular like eyes to detect any fishy moment , sharp claws to catch his slippery prey with a single dive.

The b/w composition works well here. Lovely perch and eye contact. Is this full frame? I feel just a bit more space on the top would strengthen the composition further. The talons can be seen in clear here. Would like to see the color composition as well to compare. Thanks for sharing.

Thnx for your comment Mrudul Ji , the image is cropped.
Attach is the colour version of it.
I've also given some space at the top.
