Osprey In a Tree

I was able to capture this osprey in a tree at Alton Baker Park.
The picture was shot with the D3 in DX mode and then cropped even more. Pretty impressive result, I think.

Nikon D3 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF
1/500s f/8.0 at 400.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
