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
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
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.
