Osprey Giving Me the Evil Eye

We went on a short drive yesterday hoping to find an accessible hike. No such luck on that but we drove past this osprey nest and the osprey have returned. I gave it a bit of a texture play since I had to blow out the sky in order to get good exposure on the bird. I am always amazed by their huge nests.
Thanks for your visits comments, suggestions, favs
Such an amazing capture and composition with wonderful details. Your processing is of course perfect, love the half circle around the Osprey :-)

I love the background texture! Can you tell me how you got around all those branches? I use the quick selection tool but it doesn't always look this perfect. Thank you Jane if you have time.

@joysfocus I made a selection for the osprey and the branch but for the nest, I brushed out much of the texture on it using a lowish flow rate until I liked how it looked

Like how the osprey is sitting out for you - nice job with the texturing - adds a bunch.

Great shot. All the trails are closed around here. The wildlife preserve, too. The Osprey come there to fish. But don't seem to nest there. I think that the University of Montana maintains some webcams in some Osprey nests. You can watch real time or they also have some highlight reels for streaming.
