Nice catch. Clean background.

Good capture of the Osprey. A rare encounter indeed as these raptors are migrants.

Cheers

Correct me if I am wrong. I think this was taken in the US.

Perfectly correct... And it's also VERY difficult to catch Hawk around here too

Well perhaps not so difficult to locate them, as compared to Singapore.

Were you using 100-400 IS lens? Have seen ppl in the States take some really breathtaking closeup and flight shots of raptors using that lens. There is one guy called Hawkman in dpreview forums who uses that lens, great shots.

BTW nice attempts there, and good catch of the osprey.
