The only bird of prey feeding only with fish. Its precision and speed is stunning, the capacity of spotting a fish through the water is amazing. The dive is often almost a vertical descent at high speed, talons out and straight in front of it. The rise from the water often seems a struggle, the weight of the fish bringing the bird down, but most of the times it's more of a meticulous action to sense the correct direction of the wind for an easier lift off. And up! It flies back to the nest.
The moment of maximum effort, the osprey checks the wind direction and rise from the water after catching the prey, using its long and powerful wing, creating a perfect choreography of thousands of drops.

- В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
- The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
- Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
