Osprey Holding His Talons Together

I suspect this will need to be viewed on black for seeing the details. This is the male flying into the nest where the female (not visible in this photo) is rearranging the branches. Somehow the talons held together feels like a worried dad in the waiting room! Obviously I gave this a seeing to with textures to disguise a bit the fact that the nest is on top of a power pole!
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Beautiful image!

Beautiful on black. How do you do your "seeing to?" Photoshop? Topaz? PS Elements? Something else? You get some wonderful results.

Stunning. You have absolutely nailed what I think is an effective use of textures. You maintain the originality and authenticity of the scene and use textures to enhance and remove distraction. Beautiful and instant fav.

Fabulous capture and editing! We have a man made lake (flood control) near us and the power company has made or allowed a nesting place for the osprey on top of one of the poles just like this. Your compositing has made this into a beautiful creation! FAV!
