“Bringing home breakfast”. This osprey had just captured this fish and I was lucky enough to capture this dramatic shot as he took off with his wings in the angel position, clutching a fish in one talon, and making direct eye contact with me. And then I shot a whole sequence of him making a left turn from here, landing in his nest and sharing his catch with his mate sitting in the nest. I have photographed this osprey often in that he has made his nest in the same spot for 4 years. His name is Fleck due to a fleck in his right eye at the 7 o'clock position. I have been shooting since the late '40s and this is my best. Photo location: St. Petersburg, Florida, USA. (Photo and caption by Sandy Scott/National Geographic Photo Contest)
