Firstly this is a Red Kite not an Osprey. But no marks off for that !! The bird is seen perhaps gliding as the wings do not look to be flapping hard. The bird is on the left and has plenty of space to fly into. Really good focussing as the head and eyes are lovely and sharp. The DOF is excellent as we have well diffused background too. Lovely angle of wings and tail. The exposure is excellent and we see great colours and details in the plumage.
The details on the white of the face seem to be that a degree of noise reduction has been used as it is a little soft. Perhaps a crop from a larger image. A very good image however.
