Photographed this Osprey on the north coast of NSW a year ago. I was fortunate to be close enough for a full frame image. :) The fact it was so close is why the wingtips are blurred. I kind of like it like that anyway for the blur adds a sense of motion.
Terific action shot and great intense stare captured. I agree with you about the wing blur - a totally sharp flying image is often not as interesting as one that shows the movement. I like the wing blur in one I took of a brown falcon leaving a power line for the same reason.
Thanks Birdgirl. If you want to see it larger check this link out.
