Worth the wait

I have always liked Ospreys, even since i was small, but it was not until i moved to india i had a chance to see them. That being said, i was never lucky enough to get close and shoot them... until this weekend, and what a fantastic experience it was for me! This shot beats the tiger I saw! :P
