18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Osprey

Every day I go to the beach and wait patiently for the environment to reveal the magic in the nature. On this occasion I happen to come upon a nest of Ospreys raising their young. As long as i kept my distance and behaved myself they let me photograph them but watched me very carefully. I adjust my settings accordingly, attached my 300mm zoom and pushed my shutter button like a mad man.
