21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
An Alien Attack

Catching an osprey dive in the wild is challenging because you don't know where he might find a fish. Doing it at sunset is even more so because they don't like to get wet and cold in late hours, let alone risking not getting a catch and go hungry in the night. This osprey must be unlucky during the daytime warm hours. He decided to take a chance right at sunset.
